Dear Cass,
I have two close relatives who are diagnosed as BPD and neither underwent trauma or abuse as children. I know that's considered a common catalyst for BPD, but it's not a definitive element of the diagnosis. Unfortunately, I know a lot more about BPD than I ever wanted to, and there's a very strong possibility that my dysfunction, depression, is a result of the caustic, abusive treatment I received by a BPD relative.
