Hi,

Was wondering if anyone here has a lot of trouble discussing BPD with their parents, since BPD is often attributed to neglect in childhood.

I have had a few run ins with possible BPD diagnosis, read up a lot. When I brought it up with my mom, she seemed really bothered that I'd mention it, because this would reflect very poorly on her.

I suspect my mom is narcissist... I am Bipolar 1, ADHD

tldr: Do your parents feel very uncomfortable from BPD diagnosis bc of childhood neglect or understimulation aspect ?
