I am seeking help and suggestions from those who have experience with BPD. I have a child who's father was diagnosed with BPD and whom I believe exhibits most of the signs/symptoms of BPD but has currently been undiagnosed (not from lack of seeking assistance). We've been dealing with the emotional roller coaster for 17 years and simply need some direction. Any words of advice are appreciated. Yours kindly, MomofBPDundxd

I have BPD. One thing that I can express is no matter how irrational ones feeling are they are still real. For me not having loved one that tried to understand and validate it, and wrote it off as silly, could send me for loops.

You are doing the right thing by seeking to understand. BPDfamily (in addition to here) is good support for non BPD individuals dealing with others.
