Hi,
I have read a lot about trauma and emotional neglect in childhood greatly increasing chances of developing BPD. Can verbal and emotional abuse in marriage also cause BPD...over a number of years? Thanks, any input will be appreciated |

Everything I've read indicates that the seeds of personality disorders are planted very early in childhood when the child is developing (or not) an attachment bond with his or her primary caretaker. I don't think that a person could spontaneously develop a personality disorder in adulthood without this history of developmental trauma. An abusive marriage could cause PTSD, which has shares some symptoms with BPD.

Your personality is already formed in adulthood , so I don't think you can develop a personality disorder at that stage.

Hi Sunsurfandsand,
In short; there are correlations with abuse and an, "invalidating," environment in the development of any mental illness, not just Borderline Personality Disorder. However, correlation is NOT causation; meaning that just because one person develops that disorder in an abusive environment as a child, does not mean the next child will develop the disorder. Marsha Linehan has a talked about the bio-social theory behind Borderline Personality Disorder. She said something along the lines of: A combination of a sensitive person in an invalidating environment can trigger Borderline Personality Disorder. Truth is, no one really knows... It is such a vast topic. Dysfunctional environments, parenting styles, family dynamics, all kinds of abuse, manipulation, neglect, parents or siblings who also suffer mental illness, alcoholism, drugs, lack of nutrition, stress... All these things correlate with the development of mental illness. There are advancements in research all the time, however, those discoveries change over time as well. Keep in mind that this is all a grey area; nothing is black and white when it comes to mental illness. Thanks, HD7970ghz
