[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our family it's my MIL. It's been eye-opening to say the least. I knew nothing of personality disorders before I met her.  I actually can't really watch much reality tv anymore, because I think producers pick people with personality disorders because their behavior is so outrageous.

OP, the classic book for dealing with people with bpd is "Stop Walking on Eggshells". I have a copy but haven't looked at it yet - mil actually cut me off a couple of years ago after some outrageous behavior around my dad's funeral.  It's better for me to not have to deal with her. It's easier for he to have sympathy for her when I'm not interacting with her. [/quote]

OP here.  Thanks for the book suggestion.  It's "funny" because for years I've been saying that dealing with her is like walking on eggshells and that I will not do that. She was recently diagnosed BPD and to be honest I haven't had time to research the disorder a whole lot.  For me, understanding brings acceptance/peace, so I think the book could help. Can't believe I hadn't even thought of doing an Amazon search - there's a ton out there about this.  I didn't even know what BPD was until about a month ago.[/quote]
