So there are several books out there on how to survive growing up with a Borderline mother or a mentally ill mother in general. I am a Borderline, and I have a 3 year old daughter. I would like to read one of these books to find out what I should be doing right so my own daughter won't be reading one of those books 20 years from now! I want to do things right!
Have any of you read any of these books? Which would you recommend, and why/why not? If you know of a better book that I didn't list, let me know. Thanks!

I read Understanding the Borderline Mother and it was very good.
What about including a family therapist in your life? |
