    Child of Parent with BPD?

    November 12, 2014 / 1 Comment

    Inability to express or regulate emotions, difficulties establishing and maintaining relationships, and feelings of guilt, shame and emptiness were also noted among children of parents with borderline personality disorder. Understanding the impact of parents’ mental illness Research from the University of Adelaide has found that the children of parents suffering from an emotionally unstable form of personality disorder are at risk of developing behavioural and emotional issues – but the children can also be protected from experiencing similar difficulties to their parents.

    Estranged Daughter Writes of Mother’s BPD

    October 21, 2014 / No Comments

    When I found out, in 2006, that she’d drained my trust fund, I was horrified. But on some level, I was also relieved: so much of the nightmare of my relationship with my mother had happened in secret that I struggled to know if it was even real. But now I knew it was. Now, I had proof, and I could finally leave her, with a clean conscience. WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE ESTRANGED FROM YOUR MOTHER WHEN SHE HAS BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER GABRIELLE MOSS The last time I spoke to my mother was this past January. We had a mediated meeting with her psychiatrist, the three of us together…

    Not long after she drew the gruesome accident picture at the age of nine, Colleen told her parents that she wanted to die. Many suicide attempts followed. Calgary mother chronicles daughter’s tragic struggle with Borderline Personality Disorder BY ERIC VOLMERS, CALGARY HERALD OCTOBER 3, 2014 When Colleen Porter was nine years old, her parents were summoned to school because of a picture she had drawn with crayons. Students had been asked to create something that pleased them, an exercise that usually produced predictable and mundane results. Not for Colleen. “It was a drawing of a car accident,” says Fran L. Porter, Colleen’s mother and author of the book When the…

    Be mindful of transitions with BPD

    September 16, 2014 / No Comments

    Transitions, especially as they relate to identity, can wreck havoc in a relationship with someone with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). The last few months have been very difficult in my household with my wife with BPD. Over the weekend, she engaged in self-injury for the first time in eight years. Why? Because my household is going through a very significant transition. My girls have applied to and gone to college, leaving only my wife, my last child (a middle schooler) and myself in the house. My wife identifies herself as primarily a mother. She is greatly attached to our girls and now that they have “left the nest,” my wife’s…
