À propos de cet audio

The first love in our lives is our mother. Recognizing her face, her voice, the meaning of her moods, and her facial expressions is crucial to survival. In this book, Dr. Christine Ann Lawson vividly describes how mothers who suffer from borderline personality disorder produce children who may flounder in life even as adults, futilely struggling to reach the safety of a parental harbor, unable to recognize that their borderline parent lacks a pier, or even a discernible shore.

Four character profiles describe different symptom clusters that include the waif mother, the hermit mother, the queen mother, and the witch. Children of borderlines are at risk for developing this complex and devastating personality disorder themselves. Dr. Lawson's recommendations for prevention include empathic understanding of the borderline mother and early intervention with her children to ground them in reality.

Addressing the adult children of borderlines and the therapists who work with them, Dr. Lawson shows how to care for the waif without rescuing her, to attend to the hermit without feeding her fear, to love the queen without becoming her subject, and to live with the witch without becoming her victim.

This book was amazing I absolutely am so great full to have read it. It was a very intense and emotional book. I had to listen to it a little at time, I recommend it if one feels stuck in the past, unable to move on, it definitely has reached a vulnerable state in me. I will be listening to it again!

Great full to have come across this book!

I've known for a few years my mother struggled with BPD. This book was great insight into why I felt she didn't quite fit into the typical explanations of BPD. l
Learning about different types of mother's and how to approach a relationship with them was very validating to my experience and gave me positive insight going forward in my life. Definitely worth reading if you feel your mother might have BPD or is for all diagnosed.

Validating for those with a Borderline Mother

The book , surprisingly hard to find in paper form is well laid out
and answers many questions for the victim. It does not reveal much about
what the mechanism is that creates these 'Mom-sters". It does touch a bit
on factors but that would be a separate volume.
I don't like that the audiobook does not appear to have chapters to skip to
with markers, at least in itunes. Possibly I'm missing something about the functionality
of the audio file. That's just my experience, one big 9 and a half hour audio file.
I am also put off at times by the narrator who sounds like a mix between a Queen and a Witch. I'm not kidding. A cold stern vocal performance. I know it's a difficult topic one wouldn't want a 'bubbly' voice so possibly a Male voice would have been more sufficient. Just my own feelings, does not take one bit of value from the actual message. Worth it to utilize if you have the time.

This book was like validation overload. I feel like they took my experience and explained why. I sadly developed BPD and am on treatment this is a great guide to know what a mother is suppose to do vs what I know.

lots of information that is useful and validating. many parts may sound harsh but quite often candor and straightforwardness seem so. will listen again.

excellent book. painfully honest and candid.

This paints such a doom and gloom picture that it actually did real damage to many of my relationships as we all had downloaded it. Worst mistake ever. There’s nothing positive to give hope to anyone. wish I never saw this book
