Does this sound like borderline personality disorder?!
Question: Does this sound like borderline personality disorder!?
my aunt says her psychiatrist says that, from her descriptions of different events, my grandmother seems to have borderline personality disorder!. my aunt thinks my mom might also have it!. all i know is that my mom has been treated for anxiety with prozac!.
here are the things i have had problems with with her:
1!. my mom knew my dad was physically abusive toward my brother and i but wouldn't do anything about it until i reported him (my dad) she also knew he came in and looked at me in the shower, but wouldn't stand up for me (when i was like 15)
2!. she needs you to be there for her when she has a problem, but is completely cold if you have a problem!. she will cry all night to me about the same thing every night but if i am upset i am being ridiculous!.
3!. being a parent was too hard for her!. i started getting spanked for crying when i was 2 because my mom just couldn't take the stress anymore!. she would have my dad hang me upside down by my feet and spank me when i cried!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like she was jealous of you & your brother!. Some of her behavior sounds like borderline behavior but with paranoid & psychotic features!.!.

Your dad doesn't sound like he gets an "A" in parenting either!!!
If you've been effected by them enough that it is causing you problems in your life, forget them & get therapy for yourself so their mistakes don't injure your life!.
Good luck to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi,
I have BPD and have read quite a bit of material on it and to me it doesn't sound like your mum has it, there is criteria that has to be met and usually has to be seen in a patient over a long period of time and to be honest very little of what you described sounds like BPD!. However your mum definately was in the wrong and i think she has some anger issues!. im sorryfor what you have had to endure from both your parents as it was abuse from both of them!. The abusive and exessive anger is not a trait of borderline personality disorder!.
I hope you are getting counselling or some professional support as you deserve it after everything you have been through!. maybe it would be an idea to go to your gp and talk to him/her about your mum and state your concerns!.
best of luck to you

those traits do not seem like BPD, but just plain abuse and cruelty!. i was dx with BPD, and suffer from something totaly different!. I have anger outbursts after being pushed so far, but with these outbursts i black-out, and do not remeber what i did during the black-out!. i have to be pushed to this point by someone!. it doesn't just happen for no reason!. i wish you the best of luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
