My dad is an alcoholic. I suspect though that I got it from my mom mostly. She seems to have BPD. She is undiagnosed- except she has a book about it hidden away- and refuses to see anybody for anything. She always thinks things are everybody's fault but her own. She immediately takes the opposite side of whatever I say- no matter if its that she's great. Its a knee-jerk reaction. I think I'm doing well to have BP and stay healthy in SPITE of being in the face of that nearly every single day. Its exhausting and its twisted and its annoying. Someone that has to be right all the time to the point of teeter-tottering back and forth between two sides at break-neck speed in order to be on top. The stress of this no doubt brought my BP to the forefront and someone like that RARELY has compassion for what we as BPs go through. Also on my dad's side, his brothers and sister have their own issues - one is anni/B since at least the late 80's - seems its from their father being a pedophile. Yeah he's still alive but in another country many miles away, so my kids have grown up away from that.
