Stop Walking on Eggshells: Taking Your Life Back When Someone You Care About Has Borderline Personality Disorder

Isn't it time you stopped walking on eggshells?

Do you feel manipulated, controlled, or lied to by someone close to you? Are you the focus of their intense, violent, and irrational rages? Do you feel criticized and blamed all the time? If the answer is "yes," someone you care about may have borderline personality disorder (BPD)-a personality disorder that causes negative self-image, emotional volatility, and difficulties with interpersonal relationships. The good news is you can bring peace and stability back into your life. This newly revised and updated self-help classic will show you how, one confident step at a time.

Stop Walking on Eggshells has already helped more than one million people who have friends and family members diagnosed with BPD to understand this difficult disorder, communicate without apology, and set limits. This third edition includes new (and surprising) information on narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), men with BPD, children with BPD, and coping and communication skills you can use right now to stabilize your relationship with your loved one.

This practical and compassionate guide will help you:

? Make sense of the chaos

? Stand up for yourself and assert your needs

? Defuse arguments and conflicts

? Protect yourself and others from violent behavior

"My 'gold-standard' recommendation for learning how to live with, love, and care for people who struggle with BPD."
