An email support group for parents who have a child (of any age) who may have BPD.

The Welcome to Oz family support group community is for people who have someone in their life who has borderline personality disorder (or traits of BPD). This can cause much anxiety, depression, confusion, isolation, etc. We know what you're going through and are here to help!

Before joining this group, you must read the guidelines and agree to them before posting. The guidelines also contain technical instructions. YOU MUST POST ANONYMOUSLY; get a web-based email address if you need to.

My (Randi Kreger’s) newest book is The Essential Family Guide to Borderline Personality Disorder: New Tips and Tools to Stop Walking on Eggshells. I think of it as Stop Walking on Eggshells 2.0: it contains everything I have learned since coauthoring SWOE in 1998. It contains five steps to reclaim yourself and skillfully handle your relationship.

Also see Hope for Parents, which you can purchase at www.BPDCentral.com.
Another great book is Borderline Personality Disorder in Adolescents by Blaise Aguirre. If you have a child under 18, read Parenting a Child with Intense Emotions (Harvey).

Welcome. We're glad you're here!
