I am the child of a borderline mother. It took years of therapy to understand the soul rape that was inflicted on me by my mother due to her mental illness.

Even some psychiatric professionals caused harm because they focused mainly on my BPD mother and what the family could do to help HER. They completely ignored the trauma suffered by my mother’s victims.

Borderlines can be particularly harmful to chlldren. My own mother was often depressed and in her depression often expressed the desire to kill herself to end her suffering and to kill her children, too… to prevent their suffering. This was overwhelmingly frightening and always left me feeling off balance when alone with my mother.

BPD is a very serious psychological issue and the young victims of borderline mothers need to be identified and rescued from the BPDs emotional and sometimes physical abuse.

Thank you for enlightening people about this condition.

When I finally learned about BPD, it helped me to understand my mother better and to set strong boundaries.

It gave me strength to have sympathy for her, while at the same time it gave me permission to individuate and to protect myself from her negative, manipulative, controlling, self-destructive behaviors.
