Re: Question: Does it ever get any better?

Hi Titania,

I have known that nada had issues since I was young, but I only

discovered BPD in late August 2007. Since then, she has not changed,

but I have changed my reactions and interactions to her. So yes, I

believe that it can get a lot better. For me, therapy and reading

lots of books about BPD and controlling parents has helped me. I've

also enjoyed reading self healing books like Anatomy of the Spirit. I

have now forgiven nada and pity how insecure and miserable she is. I

no longer resent her, but I know that she will probably never change.

So all I can do is change how I react to her by setting limits.

I've also encouraged fada and my brother to read about BPD because

they live at home. But BPD is now a very small part of my life and I

feel that I am very much in control. Good luck to you!
