“However my mom is Bi-polar and I have been abused verbally, mentally and emotionally most of my life. I lost my dad before I turned 4. Like a month and a half shy of turning 4 and then being raised with a crack head mother, it’s all traumatizing stuff which I believe caused my BPD. I have a son and a daughter and neither one of them would say I was mean to them or am anything like my mother. We all need to take into consideration that just because someone is diagnosed with a certain mental illness does not mean that because the person you know with that mental illness is a certain way, that everyone with it, is that way. Not sure if I made sense but I have BPD and that does not make me mean or a bad person. I just have a lot of work to do to get better but I definitely strive to be better than I was the day before so everyday is progress. I don’t even yell at my children. Ever.”
