This video describes the messages and interpretations we might receive from parents who may struggle with UNTREATED Borderline Personality Disorder, according to the book "Surviving a Borderline Parent," written by Roth and Friedman.
As always, the intention of this video and information is to help validate those who were raised by parents who struggled, and not to further stigmatize those individuals with BPD.
There has been a massive shift in the diagnoses of BPD, and increased awareness, and it's important to know that treatments like DBT, DBT parenting skills and other treatment modalities can be incredibly helpful and effective in supporting those with BPD.
However, this video and the book are focused upon validating and helping the children of parents with BPD, and there is no real way to validate without also acknowledging the range of experiences and impacts upon children, when parents were (or are) untreated, unsupported and/or unaware or uninterested in getting treatment.
Regardless of diagnostic labels, which are generally not helpful, it can be incredibly validating to finally understand why a parent may have treated us certain ways in childhood, and in our adulthoods as well.
Knowing what we now know, about the impact of trauma and mental health upon the development of children, I am hopeful that we can move in a direction of helping and validating children and parents who suffer, so we can all benefit as individuals, families and societies...
