BPDFamily.com is an online support group for the family members of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD).
The articles explain borderline personality disorder in understandable terms, and the discussion groups help to normalize the experiences of family members.
[2] The site appeals to family members who care about someone with borderline personality disorder, but are frustrated with the relationship demands and conflict.
[10] The group's services and programs are recommended in Primer on Borderline Personality Disorder,[11] Abnormal and Clinical Psychology: An Introductory Textbook,[12] Resources to Improve Emotional Health and Strengthen Relationships,[13] I Hate You--Don't Leave Me: Understanding the Borderline Personality,[4] The Essential Family Guide to Borderline Personality Disorder,[14] Stop Walking on Eggshells,[15] and Discovering Your Inner Child: Transforming Toxic Patterns and Finding Your Joy.
[24] In a January 2013 column, Kristalyn Salters-Pedneault at Boston University School of Medicine says that although she highly recommends this group for family members, readers with borderline personality disorder should keep in mind that some people have been hurt by their family member with BPD and are speaking from this perspective.
