WHINE Book
Are you a loved one of someone with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD, or Emotional Regulation Disorder)? Are you a spouse, partner, friend or parent of this person? Is living with this person driving you crazy?
And most importantly: Would you like your relationship with this person to be calmer, easier and less stressful?
If so, I have a book for you to read. I wrote it because 3 years ago I was in a very similar situation. My wife of more than 15 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.
And I decided to write it all down in my book When Hope is Not Enough: a how-to guide for living with and loving someone with Borderline Personality Disorder (aka WHINE).
If you want your life to be easier, I urge you to read this book. The strategies and tools in WHINE actually work. I’m still married and both my wife and my daughter have improved greatly.
You can buy a printed copy of WHINE online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other major Internet retailers. Buy it by clicking on the following links (the current price at each of these is about $17.95):

Finally, just a quick note: this is not one of those marketing sites that is trying to get your email address so I can send you newsletters and SPAM (in fact, I don’t get your email address when you buy the book). I know there are a lot of those out there – you might have encountered them before, the ones with the highlighting and exclamation marks. No, I actually wrote this book to help out people in their relationships with someone with BPD. It’s that simple.

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.

Dear Sir,
I would like to translate this book into Dutch together with a friend, an English-Dutch translater.
We are both ex-partners of BPD’s, both good writers and well educated (University), we love languages!
Yours Sincerely,
Petra Koot
