Listen Later

Borderline personality disorder.

Sean grew up in an extremely violent and chaotic environment.  His father was alcoholic and abusive, his mum depressed.  He remembers feeling no love at all growing up.  Sean's mom was still a kid herself when she started having kids.  By the age of 23 she had five children.  And Sean's mom had come from a traumatic childhood and so had his Dad. Two children of trauma coming together, continuing the cycles of alcoholism, violence and abuse towards their eight children.  Generational trauma is real and Sean has spent a lifetime suffering from its affects.  Diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder Sean has struggled big time, including many suicide attempts.  But he is now actively taking control back of his mental health and sharing his journey on his podcast You Me and BPD.  Our chat begins this week and continues next week in Part 2.
