I was recently diagnosed with BPD and am considering telling my parents about it. I'm 30 and my life so far has been a long string of failures. I want to let them know that I'm working really hard on becoming a better person, but it might be a long while before I finish my degree and find a stable career.

They have been really nice to me since my suicide attempt this December, but our relationship has not been so great before that. I'm worried that they will not take me seriously, especially since they did not believe me I was sexually abused by a teacher years ago. I also don't want them to blame themselves.

Do you guys know any good articles/books/videos on explaining the disorder, especially the predominantly quiet variant? Or anything on how to deal with having a BPD family member?
