It is very good; however, everyone in it were victims of catastrophic events or such physical violence and abuse, again, I felt ashamed that I fit the description. My unendurables are very mild in comparison. I guess, however, they were enough for me.

I found "trapped in the mirror" (it's about adult children of narcissists) an interesting read
that's not specifically about borderline PD though. I don't know if you'd relate to it or not, but I figured I mention it.
I suppose it's about "relational trauma" as some call it.
