[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 538970, member: 84"] Ok, Daisy.............First I'm going to say I didn't read the responses, so........yeah. It's [B]NOT[/B] that a child has to have been abused to have Borderline (BPD). It's that a child has suffered trauma (or traumatic events) is believed to be the cause of Borderline (BPD). Now that may not sound much better to you than it did to me when I was arguing with not one but 2 psychiatrists that I couldn't understand how on earth Nichole who had never been abused could possibly have a diagnosis of Borderline (BPD), while also being able to admit the diagnosis fit. That was when the definition was corrected for me by both psychiatrists. (very good psychiatrists too I might add) psychiatrist at the psychiatric hospital, whom I started the argument with.........well, she said trauma of course doesn't necessarily mean abuse in any form. It can be all sorts of things.....that wind up being a traumatic experience for that particular child at that particular time in life for whatever reason. Put this way........Nichole had two sources, her eldest sister's abandonment, and the fact that I have a terminal diagnosis with a chronic illness that caused many many hospitalizations over the years. (think a lot of mini abandonment's during early childhood particularly) While my illness wasn't enough to send her over into a diagnosis.....it combined with her sister's very real abandonment, taking 2 grandchildren Nichole basically loved nearly like siblings with her, was enough to send her over the edge into Borderline (BPD). So then of course I had to argue that it certainly had not affected the other 2 kids that way........and psychiatrist answered well that would make sense as their relationships with me would be different and they had different personalities. And yeah, it made sense. Had Katie not done what she did, Nichole probably would have never made it over that edge unless something else caused it. So, there you go. There is one case you personally know about that had nothing to do with abuse. I'd be hunting a doctor, and while trying to find a good fit, in the first interview get their opinion/belief on what the cause of Borderline (BPD) is, if they say abuse instead of trauma.........then keep looking.
