 | Non-Borderline Daughter A thoughtful, insightful and clearly-written book-length analysis of the impact of mental illness on the affected person's children, written by the daughter of a woman diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder. The issues faced by loved ones of people with borderline personality and bipolar disorders are very similar. From the site's home page: "Family and significant others, friends, co-workers, health providers and even therapists struggle to understand their individual who suffers an outwardly imperceptible and very slippery volatile sickness of the mind. Each of these “others” is also affected to some substantial degree by the illness that claims the one they care about. It creates distresses that may go unrecognized, misidentified or minimized until circumstances and symptoms become intolerable. This unavoidable contagion surfaces more often later than sooner, especially when we may have functioned quite normally in many aspects—while still under the shadowy secondary influences of someone else's disorder which may escape detection but causes no less pain to us all." |
