Maintaining effective boundaries is essential to both
surviving and recovering from a BPD relationship.
All people deserve to be treated with respect.
Most people with BPD are abusers of at least some of
the people in their lives. (Restated: Most Nons are in
abusive situations, especially those in a primary
relationship.)
Nons in situations of physical violence should
immediately prepare a safety
plan, and leave the relationship as soon as possible.
Verbal abuse is abuse.
Emotional abuse is abuse.
Nons deserve a safe place to work on their own issues
and problems.
Most Nons would benefit greatly from therapy.
You didn’t cause it. You can’t fix it. You can only
work on you.
Sleep deprivation makes you tired.
Humor is important to good mental health.
You can’t take care of your children if you aren’t
taking care of yourself.
