BPDLivesMatter writes: December 11, 2015 11:09 pm Why wld u let ppl post such hateful things about those with BPD? I know u r hurting, but bashing persons w/ BPD will not heal your hurt. It made me cry. It upset me but if u post this I will just be another attention-whore, another empty vessel...no name face heart soul.... I have never been hateful on ur blog. Pls stop, it hurts, ppl. the reality of loving a family member with BPD is a valid topic of conversation - its not bashing -

BPD lives matter

so do the lives of their families

Sheri writes: December 11, 2015 10:57 pm Do you help Chelsea out with her medical bills? Without a job, it must be hard for her. All the more reason though for her to get an education. Would u pay for college if she'd go? high school would be first ...

Kent writes: December 11, 2015 10:56 pm Donald Tramp keeps making remarks to get you to respond. I am so glad you are not responding to him and making his circus bigger. He is a marketing genius and knows how to keep people's attention but I don't want Donald Strumpet to be our next president. God help us... HE WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT - EVER
Galen writes: December 11, 2015 7:06 pm My bro sucked all the attention due to BPD. 40 years later, he's dead not I still resent the hell out of him. Hope Chelsea realizes the damage she's doing AND her siblings handle this better than I did.
dianerose writes: December 11, 2015 7:06 pm BPD-Besides the anger, the lack of empathy, fears of abandonment,attachment disorder, self absorbtion, depression and anxiety, the person is like an empty vessel that no amount of love can fill. Usually family members are left to walk on egg shells trying to kept the peace in a no win,and often heartbreaking situation.

tom writes: December 11, 2015 5:20 pm Ro, Is the grief a daily ongoing process of letting go toward acceptance? Have you been able to reach a place of semi-peace so your heart isn't an open wound? Was the realization a process that evolved over the years? I admire you for the way you held it all together, dealt with serious family issues all these years while maintaining her privacy f it hurts
