Re: BPD w/o rage?

[Guest guest]

Wow Jill - what a funny world! My BROTHER is the high-functioning

Asperger guy and my MOM is the BPD! What a fun ride we have had with

that combo, no? The asperger is socially clueless but amazingly

irritating, and the bpd gives permanent mental scarring to her

young. Yea, us!

My mother's rages largely cooled for a couple years after my dad died.

Now in retrospect I think it was more than likely depression clouding

over things. Just my observations, your mileage may vary. But perhaps

they go through " seasons " sometimes depending on life circumstances???
