Is there hope for a normal relationship with BPD

HI everyone....ive noticed a spate of books and articles on how to leave someone with BPD.....how not to buy into a relationship with a BPD person......are there any books on successful relationships within the spectrum of BPD ?

Yes it is possible I have many friends that have BPD and are in committed relationships and marriages. Don't know of any books though.

Hi there. There are some tips near the end of 'I hate you - Don't leave me'. I'd also reccomend reading Linehan's book on BPD. If the person with BPD does Linehan's treatment program and their partner follows along with the stuff then there are lots of things in there about how to deal with SI and expression of emotion, distress tolerance skills, interpersonal effectiveness skills etc.

Stuff about healthy ways to communicate (which can be used by both parties). Weighing pros and cons in terms of disputes / figuring how to comprimise and setting appropriate boundaries and so forth.

Pretty much anything that is written to help people recover from BPD should help. BPD is basically a problem with relationships. Maybe someone should write a book specifically about how to manage relationships when you are borderline (or care about someone who is), but essentially, that's what any treatment for BPD is about. And it can be done.
