When Hope is Not Enough 2nd Edition
If you’ve tried everything, read every book on BPD, gone to therapy, whatever… maybe it’s time to invest less than $20 in your relationship?
Need a new way to interact with someone with Borderline Personality Disorder? Have you tried everything and nothing seems to be working? Have you read several self-help books on the subject, even the best-selling ones, and your life is still filled with pain and conflict?
If so, I have a book for you to read. I wrote it because a few years ago I was in a very similar situation. My wife of more than 20 years has BPD. One of my daughters also exhibits BPD traits. I’ve seen the disorder from the standpoint of a spouse and a parent.
Believe me… it was hell.
What did I do? I got educated about the disorder. I learned effective strategies and tools to make my life easier. Then I practiced them and mastered them. It has made things much easier for me and my family.
I decided to write it all down in my book When Hope is Not Enough, Second Edition: a how-to guide for living with and loving someone with Borderline Personality Disorder (aka WHINE).
If you want your life to be more calm, I urge you to read this book. The strategies and tools in WHINE actually work.
You can buy a printed copy of WHINE online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other major Internet retailers.

This book sounds fantastic – and the title is spot on. Like so many others I have been for years (make that decades) convinced that if I could only plough in just a little bit more love and devotion then everything would come right. I am only just coming to the sad realisation that there is no such thing as “enough” with these kids. If love were indeed enough then this problem would have been solved and just “family history years ago. ”
One query though, I am in Australia. . . . how would I get to purchase this book ? I am also one of those dinosaurs who doesn’t use credit cards or Paypal etc. Is it available in stores anywhere ?

Well, right now it is only available on line through Lulu. You can use PayPal, Credit Cards and (I think) an online check. But cash is not an option. I will be purchasing a ISBN for it shortly (I needed some up-front cash) and it will be available on Amazon, etc. However, book stores is a difficult situation. If you know anything about the distribution business, it is difficult to get a book in book stores. I can update all of you if it gets to that point. But as of right now, it’s online only – and they will ship it to you. I might offer it on eBay as well, but again you need an electronic method of payment. In the meantime, you might want to get into the 21st century – haha. I’d love for you to have a copy, but I can’t think of any other way to get it to you.
