>Before you write off BPD people or assume you know how this disorder works or what the prognosis is, take the time to read up on more recent work in this field. I was raised by a BPD mother (who actually did an incredible job coping with it as an adult, but she wasn't perfect), and I have dated multiple women with BPD (an all-too-common scenario apparently). I found Stop Walking on Eggshells and similar sources (e.g. the BPD articles on http://gettinbetter.com/articles.html http://gettinbetter.com/articles.html) extremely helpful when it came to recovering from my relationships. The first one had all sorts of red flags, but I was inexperienced and desperate. The one after that completely caught me off guard. She had done some DBT, but that only taught her how to conceal and restrain her symptoms. There is absolutely nothing wrong with writing off BPD people. Being in any sort of relationship with one is stressful, draining, and traumatic.
