Hah, for that saying that old dogs can't learn new tricks! What I've learned from other KOs over the years, then from SWOE in 1998, and UBM in the year 2000 has been truly life-changing. - Edith Bcc: Randi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 Edith, I noticed how you put the dates of the eye-opening stuff in your life. Have you happened to read the new one that came out this year " Surviving a Borderline Parent " ? Just curious and if you've gotten as much out of it as the other books. I'm thinking of buying it soon. I've always believed age was a state of mind, and you're pretty young if you ask me! Kerrie > > > Edith?

On cursory examination it looked like something that might better be worked through with a therapist. Hopefully, others here on this list who've spent the time with it can respond better about it than I. > I've always believed age was a state of mind, and you're pretty > young if you ask me! Ahhh, actually, I'm now into enjoying my 2nd childhood. I never had a first one and now I'm old enough to really appreciate this one. *wink* - Edith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 Hi Kerrie, I've read Surviving a Borderline Parent, it was very reassuring for me. Loaned it to my sister when I started UBM...she isn't giving it back, must like it too.

It is more like a workbook, and I haven't started any of the exercises. It is written in a very supportive manner for KOs. I am looking forward to working through the exercises. I have come across a few that I know will be particularly helpful for me.
