This book teaches adult  children how to overcome the devastating effects of growing up with a parent who  suffers from BPD.Although relatively common, borderline personality disorder  (BPD) is often overlooked or misdiagnosed by therapists and clinicians and  denied by those who suffer from it.Symptoms of this problem include  unpredictability, violence and uncontrollable anger, deep depression and  self-abuse. Parents with BPD are often unable to provide for the basic physical  and emotional needs of their children. In an ironic and painful role reversal,  BPD parents can actually raise children to be their caretakers. They may burden  even very young children with adult responsibilities.If you were raised by a BPD  parent, your childhood was a volatile and painful time. This book, the first  written specifically for children of borderline parents, offers step-by-step  guidance to understanding and overcoming the lasting effects of being raised by  a person suffering from this disorder. Discover specific coping strategies for  dealing with issues common to children of borderline parents: low self-esteem,  lack of trust, guilt, and hypersensitivity. Make the major decision whether to  confront your parent about his or her condition.","brand":"Freda B.
