About this listen
People with borderline personality disorder (BPD) can be intensely caring, warm, smart, and funny, but their behavior often drives away those closest to them. If you're struggling in a tumultuous relationship with someone with BPD, this is the book for you. Dr. Shari Manning helps you understand why your spouse, family member, or friend has such out-of-control emotions and how to change the way you can respond. Learn to use simple yet powerful strategies that can defuse crises, establish better boundaries, and radically transform your relationship. Empathic, hopeful, and science based, this is the first book for family and friends grounded in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), the most effective treatment for BPD.

Incredibly helpful
This book helped me understand why my ex-relationship didn’t work out. I found it confronting because of how accurate the information and examples were. I would recommend this to anyone that is in love or was in love with someone with BPD. Thank you for the wealth of information.

Outstanding
The wonderfully clear and concise wisdom contained in this inspirational and well-researched book helped me more than words can describe. It has certainly given me a new understanding of the condition and a renewed determination not to give up .Highly recommended !

Incredibly informative
I have BPD and bought this as I try and read as much as possible on the disorder. Even as someone who is not a loved one it was an incredibly informative read. I related so much and have shared the book with family in a hope they will read it. As a person who suffers so significantly with this disorder it is my exact experience.

Review Loving someone with BPD
If only I had understood what I was dealing with in my marriage. I now understand the pain my wife was suffering on a daily basis. From a possible genetic reason and from the sad things she had suffered during her life that added up to confusion frustration sadness and guilt and now the unfortunate divorce. Plus add in not seeking help for me as her husband for my short comings or working to find skills to help I most likely made things worse. Being well intentioned of coarse but not being aware or trained our marriage is over. If you ever read this Wendy please know I only ever had good intentions all be them unhelpful. I wish I had this book 5 yrs ago as we may still be together today. I feel I have failed you as a husband. David. X This book reads like an auto biography of my life. The first two chapters describe what it’s like to not know what you are doing wrong and why what helps normally only wounds more the one you love and your own soul takes a beating too.

Unlistenable
I’m uncomfortable writing a negative review but am giving up on this a third of the way through. The narration style is unbearable. Robotic, aggressive, uneven and just deeply unpleasant. So much so I don’t think I could tell you anything about what I’ve heard.
