Description: This book focuses on one particular group of people affected by the disease: children whose mothers are borderline. The Borderline Mom does provide insight into the disease and why borderlines act the way they do. The primary focus of the book, however, is providing everyone with a borderline mother a concrete course of action, which will help you defend yourself from the instability and emotional pain borderlines sometimes cause to those around them. Should you learn to enforce boundaries? Or cut off contact to avoid further pain? The final course of action is up to you, but this book provides you with all the tools to take the optimal course of action if the relationship with your borderline mom is causing you pain.
