Adult Children of Personality Disordered Parents Need Their Own Recovery

[MsPingu112]

You sort of remind me of my grandmother... do you also have Aspergers? I dont know whether she does, but it runs in our family.

The BPD sufferer is my dad. As a now adult male, I know EXACTLY how I don't want to be in the years to come, and am fighting to recover.

@TheBaconEggAndCheese Awareness is half the battle. I had the same goal about not being like my BPD parents. It is amazing how much that strong of an intention and goal can lead you to where and who you want to be. Best to you.

@nicazzo Sorry I can't find the exact title right now but the song is by Anthony Burbidge - a Canadian singer/songwriter - and you can find his website at anthonyburbidge com

I used to think it was terribly cruel, even cowardly, to break off TOTALLY AND PERMANENTLY from toxic relationships, especially family. I did physically remove myself at 18, never went back, but tried to be civil and supportive. I diagnosed my mother with BPD and have sent word to her. My father, she beat, and he died awhile back. He had something wrong with him, too. I'm in another country now, that's how bad it was. Uprated and shared. Accent hard to understand.
