[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who diagnosed an adolescent with bpd?  My understanding is it is only applicable to adults — That is people with mature brains.[/quote]

Very concerning diagnosis. I’d get a second opinion.[/quote]

Considering the fact that Borderline DX almost always come from environmental factors (ie bad home life, neglect abuuse, ect), hopefully the whole family is involved and getting help.[/quote]

BPD can happen in people who do not have a bad home life, neglect or abuse.  Please update your research.  "Almost always" is a horrible generalization and just not true.  [/quote]

Ok. More often than not.[/quote]

Your problem is that you’re blaming the family. Yes, BPD can be the result of trauma but not all trauma is caused by the family. That’s what makes your statement so offensive. [/quote]

I completely agree.  Not all trauma is caused by the family.  To say "almost all' or "more often than not"  people with BPD have a bad home life, abuse and neglect really serves as a statement to insulate yourself.  Because if YOUR children don't have a bad home life, aren't abused or neglected, they COULDN'T possibly develop something like this.

Even if they don't develop BPD, there are all sorts of psychiatric disorders out them and it is possible that one day you could be the mother of a child with mental illness.

Instead of blaming the family and home life, why don't you offer support to people with BPD and with parents who have kids with BPD?  They need the support.  What they do  need is understanding and a person with up-to-date knowledge of the disorder.  [/quote]
