Publisher's Summary

Between 6 and 10 million people in the US suffer from borderline personality disorder. This book teaches adult children how to overcome the devastating effects of growing up with a parent who suffers from BPD.

Although relatively common, borderline personality disorder (BPD) is often overlooked or misdiagnosed by therapists and clinicians and denied by those who suffer from it. If you were raised by a BPD parent, your childhood was a volatile and painful time. This book, the first written specifically for children of borderline parents, offers step-by-step guidance to understanding and overcoming the lasting effects of being raised by a person suffering from this disorder.

Discover specific coping strategies for dealing with issues common to children of borderline parents - low self-esteem, lack of trust, guilt, and hypersensitivity - and make the major decision whether to confront your parent about his or her condition.

This book is like my bible

I was given a copy of this book years ago & was so pleased to find it on Audible. It explains so much & gives me hope.

Bad narration

I bought this book for the interesting subject matter, but narrator was terrible. Her tone is overly didactic/preachy and condescending. Such a shame - the subject matter was potentially very interesting, but I couldn't get past the narration....
