Phhhewww...

Thanks guys for your responses, I was so relieved to hear that such malevolence toward your children and toward others isn't a BPD trait especially pitting people against eachother, and no nothing is mentioned in the DSM about pathological lying.

I emailed the host (Gilmartin) a few weeks back saying how much I enjoyed the podcast as he has had other guests on who are actually diagnosed with BPD and I found it encouraging. I also touched on how I was feeling.. he gets a lot of emails, but he did personally reply to me and was rather encouraging. I did mention BPD.

I think I might email him again...

I think what was worse, and this goes with negative stigma, is that neither mothers were actually diagnosed with BPD, the host and guest just drew conclusions based on those horrible symptoms mentioned before... That was what got me really worked up..

I also read on the MIHH forum that he has had another guest on before and BPD was discussed and they deleted the podcast...wonder what that was about..?

It doesn't help stigma and its devastating to us who already feel like Sh!Tty about ourselves..

I think I might email him..
