Some people spread hatefulness and lies about bpd and I just spent two hours trying to educate them on what bpd really is. They all came back at me saying nothing I said was true (despite several articles I linked to) and that I've invalidated their experiences with "the horrors" of bpd (all "symptoms" unrelated to the disorder). 

I feel drained, but at least my boyfriend and close friends (all with bpd) know I'll stand up for them and spread the truth. 

I guess I just wanted to ask if anyone other SOFFA (significant others, friends, family, or allies) has had similar experiences and how you handle it. Thanks.
