Reply to Greciangirl:

Borderline personality disorder is a mental illness that severely impacts a person's ability to manage their emotions. This loss of emotional control can increase impulsivity, affect how a person feels about themselves, and negatively impact their relationships with others.

NIMH is a reputable website and should be up to date

I know its trendy to constantly use acronyms but boy how this can confuse everyone. This whole thread is littered with them and I for one am thoroughly confused.

Surely it's not too difficult to type out the whole thing once with the acronym in brackets, then use the acronym thereafter.

So which is it: Bi-Polar Disorder (BPD)
or: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

I don't know SuperTinny - I assumed one thing (but think I'mwrong), other people the other.

I have Borderline Personality Disorder. I don't try to control or manipulate people. If anything, it's my worst enemy because it leaves me open to being used. You can't just look up the description of a label and assume that's how the person is affected.

DH has been hospitalised several times and I never contact his family (on his instructions). Don't assume the DIL is deliberately trying to damage the mother/son relationship. Also, after surgery, your son may be on strong pain killers. These can alter the taker's perceptions and behaviour. DD2 was once given morphine after surgery and it changed her completely. She was rude and totally egocentric. I was constantly apologising to the staff who laughed it off saying she wasn't the worst they'd ever had. Once she came off the morphine she returned to her old self.

No, it certainly isn’t what ALL of those with BPD do!

Then don't assume. Phone him and discuss it. Just listen to what he says and tell him that it's given you food for thought and you'll consider his views. If it was him.

This.

I agree, I assumed it was BiPolar Disorder.
