Guest guest Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 I have found the most help on how to reply to my nada in a book called " How to Hug a Porcupine " by Lund. His subject is not BPD per se but toxic personalities. I would think BPD qualifies as toxic. I like many of his suggestions for how to handle the situation with phrasing and samples of conversation. He teaches you how to set boundaries. This book also does a good job of explaining how futile the attempt is to try to make a toxic person happy. It was very helpful for me. I found it on Amazon.com. He covers the gamit of possibilities from staying in a relationship with someone toxic but setting boundaries, to going no contact. He also teaches you how to change your own gut reaction after being conditioned to respond to these kind of people. Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
