Surviving a Borderline Parent
Surviving a Borderline Parent is the first step-by-step guide for adult children of parents with borderline personality disorder (BPD), be it diagnosed or undiagnosed.
Some 14 million people in the US suffer from borderline personality disorder. This book helps adult children overcome the devastating effects of growing up with a parent who suffers from BPD or BPD traits.
Symptoms of BPD can include unpredictability, uncontrollable anger and other emotions, depression, self-abuse, fear of abandonment and unstable relationships that shift between, at one extreme, putting someone on a pedestal or, at the other extreme, seeing that person as “all bad.” Parents with BPD may be unable to provide for the needs of their children and can be physically and emotionally abusive. In an ironic and painful role reversal, BPD parents can actually raise children to be their caretakers. They may burden even very young children with adult responsibilities.
This book will help you:
- Understand and overcome the lingering effects of being raised by someone with BPD behaviors.
- Discover specific coping strategies for issues common to children of borderline parents: low self-esteem, lack of trust, guilt, hypersensitivity, and others.
- Begin to find a path forward, toward reclaiming your self and living your own, full life.
