[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard of Dialectical Behavior therapy, but I don't know much about it.  We're pretty sure my MIL has borderline, but she'd never believe anything is wrong with her.  It's incredibly difficult. [/quote]

I have a borderline MIL as well. She refuses to seek treatment for it, and you're right, it's extremely difficult. We had to cut ties with her for a while because she would treat DH's much younger sibling poorly (refusing to pay for asthma meds, screaming and crying to her) when DH or SIL wouldn't return her calls immediately, and next weekend is her first time visiting us in four years. I'm so anxious about the visit. SIL swears she's much better now, so maybe she's in therapy now.

From what DH's therapist has told us, BPD is extremely difficult to treat, largely because of resistance from the person who has it. PP, I'd love to hear what kind of coping methods you and your spouse have, and how it's affected your spouse as an adult.

OP, who is it that you know who has it?[/quote]
