This is definitely a nice resource for general information about Borderline Personality Disorder. I agree that most people with Borderline Personality Disorder were abused or neglected as a child. I know I was. A previous therapist of mine told me this is true as well that most people with Borderline Personality Disorder were abused or neglected as a child.
