Re: Undoing years worth of damage

[Guest guest]

Hi , and welcome to our group. This is a good first step in

undoing the damage. Reading the posts will help you learn a great deal

about the behavior of a BPD parent, and his/her effects on the children.

You may also need to assess exactly what the damage is. It can be

different for each of us. I recently posted some suggestions for

another KO (kid of a BPD parent). Please check out post # 52315 . It

lists some books that are helpful, and some others from this group have

responded to that post with other book suggestions.

You may want to consider therapy too. Many of us have benefited from

therapy, although it can be a struggle to find a good therapist!

Again, welcome, and feel free to continue posting.
