Get Me Out of Here

My Recovery from BPD -  Review

Review by Dare on May 2002.

"Get Me Out of Here" is excellent. Also very confronting to see how emotional abuse, lack of parental care and parental cover-up campaigns cause so much harm to a child and the effects these have so far into adulthood. The book validates much of what I heard about my BPx's childhood when we were in couples therapy. 

I have a son and his BP mother has sole custody. It is frightening to read parts of Rachel's story in this respect. 

What I have found especially useful is reading how Rachel's psychiatrist handled the acting out behavior. The firm responses from the psychiatrist in the face of intense provocation have served as a valuable example for helping me handle my BP ex.  

Not only is this a book about BPD, it is a story of one woman's tremendous inner strength and honesty. It is incredibly readable and difficult to put down. This book is a must read for any BP or Non.
