[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a book about this: Stop Walking on Eggshells.  It's about living with a Borderline Personality Disordered wife.  The fact that you can't answer her honestly is proof that she is BPD.

actually I had the opposite thought. the fact that she would even ask this question suggests a level of insight and objectivity that makes me think she is not BPD. [/quote]

It depends.  My mom has BPD and would ask questions like this.  It was really just a set up.   If you said yes, you unleashed hell.    If you said no, she would either be happy or turn it into a "then WHY do you do X,Y,Z if you don't have to walk on eggshells" it's kind of one of those "pity me" questions.  If you answer yes,  instead of realizing she needs to change or that behavior is wrong, she takes it as an opportunity to do the whole "sob  I'm such a horrible person" crap so that you then have to make her feel better.

Your mom sounds just like my ex-wife.  [/quote]
