Help for Dealing with a Difficult Parent

Not sure what was wrong with my relationship with my mother, but suspecting BPD, I read this book in 2 days. It is the only book I've read that offers practical advice for dealing with difficult people, especially the overbearing, moody, and negative parent. This book was my saving grace and I have given it to friends who also have difficult family members. I can't say enough about the positive change this book has brought, helping me create boundaries and be able to communicate effectively and respectfully. It has also helped me, as a borderline mother myself, not make the same mistakes my mother did.

Very Practical and Supportive

This book was very helpful to me as an adult child of a borderline parent. It gave me validation, the secure sense that I was not going crazy through all this time of the tough experiences in this relationship with my mother. Reading the book was like I had told someone what I went through and they were talking to me about it. The exercises are very practical if you have the time to follow them. The only suggestion I would have for the authors would be a set of recommendations for how to connect with other family members who are not "target" of the BPD behavior. Another aspect that would be helpful is to how to help a sibling that is going through this challenge, overcome the difficulties a BPD parent can cause to them and how they see life. Despite these two things not being part of the book, it is still a great work, a quick read, and understanding of where the adult child of a borderline parent is coming from. Also helpful for spouses of the adult children, to better understand them.

JUST THE BOOK I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR....

I cannot put into words how helpful this book is to me. All this time I thougth my mother had bipolar disorder. Boy was I wrong. This book brought back repressed memories so often I had to start a journal to beging my therapy. Since reading this book I have enlisted the help of a therapist to overcome my chronic anger. My main reason for getting help is so that I WONT act this way toward my own daughter. This book has provided an enormous of amount of insight into this uderated disorder. I plan to read Understanding the Borderline Mother as soon as I'm done with this one! A MUST READ!

Informative and Written in Layperson's terminology

This book reads like a manual for those who have suffered at the hands of a Borderline significant other. The book doesn't use technical jargon and is an easy read with useful information. A step-by-step guide to getting your life back from the BPD. Helpful and applicable.

This Book is Saving My Sanity!

After years of dealing with my mother's BPD and blaming myself, this book is a godsend. It is helping me get through yet another of my mother's crises and is a good accompaniment to therapy and journaling.
