So I'm NOT crazy after all! Thank you for explaining what a Borderline is. I had an encounter with a Borderline earlier this year. Didn't know anything was wrong in our friendship until she viciously verbally attacked me from out of left field.

It left me wounded and wondering and trying to make sense of everything. I've not had incidents like this before in previous friendships, so I couldn't understand what I had done wrong.

Even though I had some responsibility in the downfall of the friendship (and owned up to this with her when trying to reconcile), I also can now see that I was dealing with a crazymaker. And I have set up a boundary for myself for protection. Thanks for your insights, Dr. David!

oH my goodness!! How timely is this artical in my life!!
I was dealing with a b.p for 5 years my best friend and i did not know what the problem was- now i do!! Her up and down moods hate me like me ways were confusing me. I thank you for bringing ou th the fact about not being the victim and loving anyway. That was difficult for me after being sliced and diced by her tounge and not deserving it. Thank you for you artical
