    i've been in your situation. The key to find self respect, love, self worth and ultimatly self acceptance was finding a therapist whom was educated in BPD and children of BDP. Very help was also reading Christine Ann Lawson's Understanding the Boarderline Mother: Helping Her Children Transcend the Intense, Unpredictable, and Volatile Relationship. It reads like a personal account of my life. It was difficult to read at times, but helped me identify the behaviour and coping with it. I would suggest you keep this book in your locker, since it might bring up an argument with your mother. i'm now 26, in therapy and coping with my mother and her disease. I am healing, but it's difficult. You're not alone and YOU CAN DO THIS!!

    I'm 21, still living at home and in a similar situation. Both of my parents have been diagnosed with BP but they refuse to believe it is a valid diagnosis. It doesn't help to hear that "it will be over when you move out" because that is a long time coming. But it does help to hear that I'm not the only one. I hope you know that. You're not alone.
