ARE YOU THE 'BLACK SHEEP' OF THE FAMILY

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGH: "WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?"

Well, I have. For most of my life I have thought things like the above, or I must be the 'black sheep' in the family, I'm so different from everyone. Those thoughts took up way too much of my time, wondering 'what's wrong with me'. But, after all these years I have found some answers to my questions.

Hold on to your socks, because there may in truth, be nothing wrong with you except that you are surrounded by people who have BPD....Borderline Personality Disorder.

Another book I could recommend without hesitation is this one:
"Stop Walking on Eggshells
Taking Your Life Back When Someone You Care
About Has Borderline Personality Disorder"
by: Paul T. Mason, M.S. & Randi Kreger

I think there are a couple of Universities who give classes on this exact issue BPD. I've read the book and have taken some interesting concepts on and have actually successfully used them with my ex-spouse and in my workplace.

So, as the back of the book cover says:
~ Do you feel that anything you say or do will be twisted against
you?
~ Does no one believe you when you explain what is going on?
~ Are you the focus of intense, violent, and irrational rages,
alternating with periods when they act normal & loving?

Read the book, and then let the games begin. You'll be a top player and will have much more control over your life, your emotions and your well-being.

Good luck ! !
