[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, was she like this growing up? What do you think caused her emotional issues? Was your childhood stable? Are you sure you don't have any issues? [/quote]

This is not germane to the conversation, which was how others have dealt with people with BPD.  Why are you asking?[/quote]

I am trying to understand how one sibling gets it but not the other. [/quote]

I see, and I have wondered the same thing.  We all have dealt with depression and anxiety.  There are significant age differences between us kids and our family circumstances were different for each of us at different stages.  My sister with BPD is the youngest and basically grew up without our father.  My older sister had the most stability at an early age, and I was old enough to remember things and put them in context as a teen/adult in a way that my younger sister did not/could not.  Each of us has made different choices in education, spouses/partners, careers, and whether or not to seek therapy and I think that has a lot to do with how we have each dealt with our challenges.  I nipped in the bud early and am blessed with a wonderful spouse and extended family on his side, as well as wonderful friends.  They are all people who support me and tell me the truth.  My younger sister has made different choices and has not been so fortunate.  I can see now where she had tendencies beginning in her teen years and that they have gotten much worse as she's gotten older.  [/quote]
