Validation, sweet validation. They call this Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) because if you called it Crazy B!tch Syndrome (CBS) the people at the TV station would sue. If you've been abused by a person who has this disorder (diagnosed or undiagnosed,,, though a borderline will never accept the diagnosis, (and that in and of itself is a symptom)) this book will help you understand what's really going on and give you skills to protect yourself and you're own sanity. Or,,, it might help you make a decision to get away from your personal gaping black hole of negativity and get on with your life. I did that a few years ago, and this book has helped me to understand what happened and how I might have made a bad situation less bad, and the book reaffirmed my decision to leave that situation. If I'd read this book 20 years ago it might have saved my trainwreck of a marriage. I'm quite happy that I did not.Read full review
(I've read the book in the past and decided I'd like to have it in my library. I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED the book!!!! I used Shopping Spree LLC and have left many messages with NO calls returned. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.) Since my soon to be ex-husband has borderline personality disorder I found this book very helpful, especially the part about the stages of greif. I do love my husband but for over 26yrs. I've been emotionally and verbally abused. I truely wanted to be the 'success story' of a marriage that finally healed, but my husband doesn't see his need to change. The examples in the book helped me to realize that I am not crazy and I am not the only one who has had to deal with BPD.
Finally, I now have some insight into what is happening to a family member who's been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. I've only read half the book so far, but now have a better understanding of what a loved one is going through. I look forward to reading on to further understand how to live with the very difficult behavior and help my loved one to better understand his symptoms.

This confirms everything I was assessing about the family member. Eye opening but sad at the same time. It’s in Gods hands; Only He can change them.
