Aloha’s Reviews > The Stop Walking on Eggshells Workbook: Practical Strategies for Living with Someone Who Has Borderline Personality Disorder > Status Update

"Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to gain an understanding of the fact that your BP’s misinformed and misguided efforts to control her emotions by controlling your actions does not help anyone, and therefore there is no reason for you to support her efforts."

"the BP is seeking inner stability, emotional stability, and a BP who has not been educated about the disease process naturally tends to try to find stability by controlling people around him."

"You may have to grieve for what you’ve never had, sob your heart out for what you’ve lost, and come to terms with facts you cannot change." I had to let go of a phenomenally intelligent, giving and creative man who I suspect have BPD traits. It's disheartening, the extremes of good and bad.

Wow! For the first time, I understand my mom's personality. And now, I'm close with someone who shows the same traits. Not sure I would like to live with anyone with BPD again. Since people with BPD have a huge impact on my life, I should read this.
