iheartjacques, Reading your post just reminds me of how much I dislike all the stigma surrounding BPD. My mom has borderline traits and the only thing she's learned from TV and various other sources is that therapists hate people with BPD, that it's incurable, that it's permanent....

Whoever is spreading all this misinformation, great job! That surely makes it more likely for people with borderline traits to get help or feel normal or hopeful.
