Actually, I was dx'd BPD 20 years ago, and have recovered with proper therapy, and a strong will to work hard and change. Pink, I do get upset reading your posts (and yes, I quit) because you say you are a therapist, and it seems people look to you here and see how your therapist treats you, and they get the idea that it's the ideal. People wishing their T's were like yours and comparing. Many others have posted about getting "red flags" when hearing your stories. I'm not the only one.

You seem to conclude that the word "manipulation" means something bad. Manipulation is manipulation nomatter how you want to describe it. It;s neither bad nor good, it's not black and white. I used to manipulate too, trust me i know what happens and why, and that was why I was disappointed in your T, because he certainly did you no favors letting you slide on the contract. Someday, you will understand what I'm talking about. I'm not surprised by your reaction to my posts, i see you frequently get defensive and refuse to see another point of view. I was trying to be helpful, and you reacted by attacking me. I haven't said anything offensive, but you certainly interpret it that way because you don't like it.

I hope for your sake I'm wrong and that your T doesn't end up harming you. good luck.
