Great full to have come across this book!

This book was amazing I absolutely am so great full to have read it. It was a very intense and emotional book. I had to listen to it a little at time, I recommend it if one feels stuck in the past, unable to move on, it definitely has reached a vulnerable state in me. I will be listening to it again!

Validating for those with a Borderline Mother

I've known for a few years my mother struggled with BPD. This book was great insight into why I felt she didn't quite fit into the typical explanations of BPD. l
Learning about different types of mother's and how to approach a relationship with them was very validating to my experience and gave me positive insight going forward in my life. Definitely worth reading if you feel your mother might have BPD or is for all diagnosed.

The reality of Evil.

The book , surprisingly hard to find in paper form is well laid out
and answers many questions for the victim. It does not reveal much about
what the mechanism is that creates these 'Mom-sters". It does touch a bit
on factors but that would be a separate volume.
I don't like that the audiobook does not appear to have chapters to skip to
with markers, at least in itunes. Possibly I'm missing something about the functionality
of the audio file. That's just my experience, one big 9 and a half hour audio file.
I am also put off at times by the narrator who sounds like a mix between a Queen and a Witch. I'm not kidding. A cold stern vocal performance. I know it's a difficult topic one wouldn't want a 'bubbly' voice so possibly a Male voice would have been more sufficient. Just my own feelings, does not take one bit of value from the actual message. Worth it to utilize if you have the time.

Daughter of a BPD mother

This book was like validation overload. I feel like they took my experience and explained why. I sadly developed BPD and am on treatment this is a great guide to know what a mother is suppose to do vs what I know.

excellent book. painfully honest and candid.

lots of information that is useful and validating. many parts may sound harsh but quite often candor and straightforwardness seem so. will listen again.

life changing

wow. very informative and helpful, but also slightly terrifying! I feel like I finally understand my mother's behavior and have an idea of how to handle it.

This book may make your family turn against you

This paints such a doom and gloom picture that it actually did real damage to many of my relationships as we all had downloaded it. Worst mistake ever. There’s nothing positive to give hope to anyone. wish I never saw this book
