Set boundaries, but don’t isolate
“Sometimes people treat those with BPD like pariahs. They’re frustrated because the sibling has threatened suicide a lot. Or they struggle with irritability and anger. It can really destroy relationships. But, knowing that a personality disorder doesn’t mean that person behind the disorder is intending to hurt you…It’s really transformative to know that. You know they’re struggling…managing their feelings is hard for them today.”
