About this listen
If you have a daughter with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you may feel frustration, shame, and your family may be at the breaking point dealing with angry outbursts, threats, and constant emergencies. You may even feel guilty for not enjoying spending time with your child - but how can you when her behavior is abusive toward you and the rest of your family? You need solid skills you can use now to help your daughter and hold your family together.
In this important guide, you'll learn real solutions and strategies based in proven-effective DBT and CBT to help you weather the storm of BPD and restore a sense of normalcy and balance in your life. You'll find an overview of BPD so you can better understand the driving forces behind your daughter's difficult behavior. You'll discover how you can help your daughter get the help she needs while also setting boundaries that foster respect and self-care for you and others in your family. And, most importantly, you'll learn "emergency parenting techniques" to help you put a stop to abusive patterns and restore peace.
If your daughter has BPD and your family is struggling to make it through each day, this book offers essential skills to help you cope and recover a sense of stability.

very informative
Hearing the scenarios was very helpful. it was like they were recording our conversation. it was nice to learn why our traditional approach to parenting was having the opposite effect.

A Need To Read if dealing with BPD
But the patronizing voice of reader, author makes the situation even
more depressing. Daughters are devilishly difficult even without BPD. This reader rings the death knell and leaves little home. We all know BPD will never end completely but he nails the coffin.

Helpful and practical resource for those in crisis
Desperately needed practical strategies to apply immediately as my well-intentioned family was barely surviving one crisis after another.
Dr. Lobel offers straight forward user-friendly techniques anyone can use right away! Helped me regain my composure, enthusiasm, energy and confidence that my relationship with my loved one was salvageable and worth salvaging. Thank you Dr. Lobel!

Very helpful in understanding the dynamic at play
We are going through an incredibly difficult time with our 16 year old daughter. This book was a huge help in my understanding of the illness. It also helped me to avoid enabling actions and “feeding the monster”. The narrator is excellent and compelling.

Excellent
Well-written. I have a 36 year old with BPD who has an 11 year old daughter. Great suggestions for grandparents and likely parents who do not have BPD. Not everything will work, but it’s a place to start and obviously a long, never-ending journey. Unfortunately, my daughter is now an alcoholic, so we are dealing with her but doing our best to protect our granddaughter who shows occasional signs of zoning out until she has been with us for a day. In any event, I believe this book is worthwhile reading. Thank you for writing it.

Author doesn’t understand BPD
The author conveys the idea that BPD is a uniform disorder with the same characteristics and symptoms in all who suffer it. This is not true. There are nine characteristics, each of which may or may be present in the many iterations of BPD.
Furthermore, he conveys the false belief that BPD is a behavioural problem that can be managed and extinguished through classical conditioning type parenting methods. (Feeding the ‘monster’ vs starving the ‘monster’ that is the illness). This is not true.
Nowhere in the book has he provided advice on effective therapies for people with BPD or their families. I was looking for guidance on how I could manage my own thoughts and emotions as I parent my adult child with BPD.
The truth that is missing from this book is that we cannot control our children with BPD, nor should we try to. When we understand the disorder fully, we learn that the best we can do is to validate their emotions, love them, help them understand their condition, and seek out treatment options that have proven to be successful (i.e., DBT) They have to do the rest.
And we, as parents, have to somehow keep our own shit together by understanding what we can and cannot control. We’re no good to anybody if we’re living in a state of constant fear and oppressive doom.

Not for me
This book didn’t appeal to me and I didn’t agree fully with the authors views and ideas.
