This book had great information on how to deal with someone that is in your life that is or has the behaviors of Borderline Personality Disorder. Gave good examples of the dynamic that occurs in such relationships as well as ways to approach each issue.

So glad I found this book. My husband and I listen to it over and over and learn more about our BPD daughter and how to relate in a more healthy and safe way. It is an invaluable resource. You will be blown away by how universal your experience is when you've likely felt so isolated previously. It was freeing. to say the least.

Informative, guiding, practical

A book to be listened in multiple sitting and multiple times! Many explanations that require time to think through. Many suggestions offered that take time to apply to personal situations. Information for both the person that may have BPD as well as for those dealing with these persons.

I feel like I need to buy the paper version to highlight sections and take notes!

Possibly. I got it in an audio format because of time constraints. I could listen while doing other tasks. I did purchase a print version for a friend of mine after listening to the audio.

This book has some valuable communication and managing tips. I did find that it was directed more towards spouses. I was looking for help with teen children. However, the authors made the point that children are often not officially diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, thus the books focus is adults. Overall, good material.

Recommended for anyone who might want to learn how to deal with difficult people- not only for those with BPD. Provides some understanding and how to pull from your own emotional reserves.

many scenarios that matched exact events in my life living with a bp for 15 years. Gives great explanation of why they do what they do. It all makes perfect sense now! So glad I got this book! I just won a custody battle against my ex-wife and this explains everything! This book really helped me. So glad I got it. A+! Even offered closure for me. Thanks!

I am only on chapter 4. I got this for my husband because I have BPD. I must say this book is making me feel worse and for him yes he will have a better understanding. But even if we have any type of argument that is actually his fault he is now going to throw it back on me. I HATE BPD. I HATE WHAT IT DOES TO ME, AND MOST OF ALL I HATE PEOPLE WHO WANT TAKE THE TIME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT BPD IS.

I.would have liked to read more about the milder type of BPD and how to treat it.

I love the book it definitely hit the nail on the head for all the stories listed in the book for BPD. I am dealing with a personal matter at home of a mother in law who suffers from BPD. I'm trying to understand her difficulties to communicate with her and make our lives better. Especially my husband who is in between both parties pulling for his attention.

Great read. Life changing book that is informative on all things BDP. I am very thankful for this book.
