Guest guest Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 My nada has BPD and I'm the oldest, but there are three younger siblings still at home with her. I just read about BPD a few weeks ago and it took me until a couple of days ago to get my Dad to read the books and now he sees what a big deal this all is. Anyway, now that he knows whats wrong, he wants to do something about it. So we know what boundaries we need to set and we know kind of how to tell her. However, if we follow the consequences for her not following the rules or obeying the boundaries to their logical conclusions, the result could be as extreme as divorce or involving the authorities. I, personally, am not willing to go that far. Should I be? Is it worth it? Are there any less extreme consequences? How do you tell someone that their perception of reality is wrong and that they will not be allowed to remain in the position of absolute authority anymore? I love my mom and I don't want to hurt her, but she is high functioning and there is very little that we can do seeing as how she has no interest in changing because she believes that the blame lies with everyone else.
