Publisher's Synopsis
The purpose of this book is to help you improve your relationship with a person who has BPD. How the writer attempts to do this is by letting you into this inner world, a place often difficult to share because of the vulnerability in close relationships, as well as because of trust issues that can be part of the baggage of BPD.
The book includes the basics on symptoms and treatment. But the meat of it, and what makes it valuable, is the inclusion of vulnerable real-life experiences, thoughts, and feelings of those with BPD. Importantly, it reveals the thoughts and feelings of someone with the disorder towards their loved ones. It lets you into the heart of someone with the disorder, but it does so in a safe space where you can explore at your own pace.
The book uses easy language to navigate a difficult subject. It attempts not to overwhelm the reader, even while it oozes with intensity at every turn. It is real and raw, yet trying to be calm. It is apologetic, yet at times brutally honest, much like the person with BPD.
This book does not promise quick-fix solutions but inspires long term understanding, acceptance, hope, and growth of relationships.
