This complete book, inspired by their original self-published booklet,
expands on the topics of coping and living with Borderline Personality
Disorder. It includes common questions and answers about Borderline
Personality Disorder, ten steps the authors suggest will help a
person learn to live and accept someone who suffers from this
disorder, and other essential information about how to choose
a therapist, book resources, etc. It was compiled by the authors
with consultation with experts and therapists in the field
who have experience with treatment and coping with Borderline
Personality Disorder. It is generally well-organized and will answer
most people's questions about this disorder and its treatment.
It is an indispensable book for people who live with someone or
love someone who suffers from this disorder.

"Thanks
to this book, I finally got my life back." "Turns
confusion into reason." "A
singular, indispensable, lifesaving contribution on BPD." "This
book is so on-target it is unbelievable!" "A
work of genius!" "Almost
too conscientious and compassionate about BP behavior. That said,
this book of healing for loving non-BPs deserves every bit of
its 5-star rating. An astonishing and rare achievement and a godsend
to non-BPs and to those BPs committed to their own treatment.
Thank you, Randi and Paul." "I
don't know how Randi Kreger and Paul Mason, M.S., achieved such
a lucid masterpiece of savvy compassion for both BPs and anyone
sadly taking undiagnosed or untreated BPD for sanity.
Many blessings to all the non-BPs who have found their way
to this sobering book while making hard decisions. This book [is]
great. To hear others describing my life, when it is actually
theirs, took away so much pain. I [could not believe] how
closely this book describes my ex. Now it's time to work on me." "An
excellent resource for making sense of borderline madness." "Your
book has affected me as much as the Bible, the first place I turned." "As
a BP, I found the book to be very educational and sometimes shocking.
I learned how my behavior affects others around me. It made me
more aware of what non-BPs are thinking and feeling and encouraged
me to change my behaviors through cognitive efforts. The authors
are both sensitive to the needs of the borderline and the non-BPs
by using realistic and non-accusatory language." "Studying
the book has brought me an emotional release and validation that
I never would have believed possible." "I
read the book for hours last night and was enthralled. It's such
a relief to know that others are aware of the kind of hell that
we've been through over the past 13 years. My fear is melting
away; I know it will resurface again, but at least I have some
idea what is going on here."
