At some point in all the reading and research, I just got worn out and tired of it all. There's not really any new information out there. assholes are assholes. There's no fixing them, no living with them, no stopping them. They are as they are. They gather and discard new victims, join and destroy new groups, run new scams, and just generally go from one garbage pile to the next, burning them all down as they go. *yawn* It's exhausting. I guess it is an OK thing to want to know what creates a BPD and why they do what they do...but at some point, it occurs to one to just say why does it matter, and so what? Maybe all BPD people were abused as children, but not all children who are abused grow up to be BPD. At some point, it seems there is a choice to be made. Or is there? And even if there is....so what?

I've come to the same conclusion. None of us are responsible for the actions of another person. Nor is it our job to change a person who has no interest in changing. The best we can do is be true to ourselves and to live within the confines of our own conscience.

I LOLed at this one, from your first link:

Common thought is that those with BPD are attention seeking, relationship destroying, manipulative assholes. Yeah, no. We struggle with emotional regulation more than others but if you take the simplistic approach that we are just trying to ruin everyone's life, I'll slap you. And not because of my issues, but because you deserve it.
That's essential BPD right there. Blame shift overdrive.

Yep. That blog is a real crapshow. I loved the comments, though. A lot of the commenters aren't buying her BS at all and are calling her on it, on no uncertain terms. That was pretty awesome to read.
