Excerpt
This ebook is a follow-up to my first ebook specifically for non-borderlines,
“The Other Side of Borderline Personality Disorder”.
In this ebook my goal is to provide more in depth information for non borderlines based upon my experience as someone who had BPD, and as someone who was, like you, thrust into the role and pain of being a non borderline when I was in a walls of the false self of Borderline Personality Disorder. It would take me 14 years to even begin to really get how much pain I was actually in.
40 Borderline Lessons My Parents Taught Me as a Non Borderline
1 - Needing is not okay. Needing is not safe. Don’t bother needing anything - we don’t really care.
2 - Who are you again? It’s all about me - not you.
3- When I need you to hold my feelings you’d better be a good little scapegoat but otherwise do not make the mistake of thinking that I care or that you belong or that I really see you - I don’t. You are me.
4 - Sorry about your luck but worry about me. Sorry about your luck but focus on me - after all you never know what I’ll do next.

15 Lessons I Was Teaching The Nons unknowingly in My Borderline Life from the age of 17 to 30:
1 - That I was more important than they were - when I really felt so unimportant and so insignificant that I would intimidate others to try to find some safety for myself
2- That others may have to wait but that I was entitled to what I wanted when I wanted much like a 2 or 3 year old child expects to be the centre of your universe
3- That everyone else was me - I had no sense of self and so whatever I felt, I would perceive as coming from others - when I wasn’t happy with myself, which was always, I wasn’t happy with others
4- That whatever the problems were they weren’t mine - anything and everything that went wrong in my life or with someone else was either my mother’s fault, my father’s fault, or the other
person’s fault - nothing was my fault - after all these problems weren’t my problems - I just happened to have a lot of problems because of everyone else

CHAPTER FOUR
BEHIND THE MASK OF
BORDERLINE PERSONALITY
DISORDER
There is a place where pain is mistaken for love and where chaos is a way of life. The agony of it really almost tragically comes to seem like a “normal” way of life.
Those who have BPD do not know who they are - they are lost to themselves and trapped in that abyss.
Non borderlines slowly over time feel less and less like who they thought they were. Non borderlines lose themselves to the borderlines who try to live through them.
