Could It Be Borderline Personality Disorder?

Borderline Personality Disorder – Information for the Family

The following 9-minute video, produced by my friends over at BPDFamily.Com, manages to capture the essence of the experiences when in a relationship of any kind with someone suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder.

It is estimated that there are 6-10 million husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, and children affected by Borderline Personality Disorder. Few know or are in treatment. When you don’t know, much like I didn’t, the trauma can be long-lasting and dramatically affect your life. Confusion, guilt, helplessness, among other experiences tend to pervade your lives. You will likely question your own sanity.

As you struggle to do everything you can within reason to get to the bottom of and cure your relationship of the never-ending chaos, the non-BPD can alter their entire personality to try to “keep the peace.” There is a term for this: walking on eggshells.

The main trait of borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a pervasive pattern of instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image and emotions. Watch and learn more:

If your loved one suffers from or you suspect may suffer from borderline personality disorder, I strongly recommend that you go ahead – visit and register at BPDFamily.Com and be sure to check out the article “Are You In a Relationship With a Borderline“.

Our 30,000 members are dedicated to support individuals and families with loved-ones affected by Borderline Personality Disorder as they journey through recovery, therapy, and self analysis.

Their website was instrumental in helping me to discover and understand just with whom I was dealing. A great many recommendations from long-standing members, even newbies, I employ today in order to manage my interactions with PEW. My only wish was that I had discovered them (and information & understanding about BPD) about 12-years ago.

Dictionary For Dads: A Website

DICTIONARY FOR DADS

“Dictionary for Dads arose amid concerns of every day fathers who sought to promote their knowledge, education ,experience and resources as it pertains to becoming an excellent father. As an organization our goal is to assist Dad’s in raising happy healthy children.”

An ever-expanding helpful website which I learned about through one of my mailing lists, this site is a one-stop-site for information from A-to-Z… at least it is my expectation that the future will hold some topics which begin with the letters X and Z. While the internet is full of resources on the never-ending topics associated with being a parent – it’s a breath of fresh air to see one focused on the needs of and full of the knowledge of fathers’ experiences.

Covering topics such as autism – offering facts, tips and roadblocks to diagnosis, behaviors and treatments; daddy’s lullabies, for our youngsters’ (and our own) heart-happiness and joy; parenting teenagers; even the dreaded menstrual period – this growing website is a must-stop on your road to parenting information for all ages, sizes, dispositions – you name it!

They even have a fledgling (as of this report) Dads Helping Dads Blog, which is sure to bring a wealth of additional personal experiences, help, and humor to all that our jobs as parents entail.

Check it out! Contribute! Do your part to help out another dad that doesn’t involve putting up a fence or chainsawing up a fallen tree!
