I had the opportunity to interview my sister about her experiences with mental health, borderline personality disorder (BPD), and working in a group home for autistic/neurodivergent children. I always learn a great deal from my sister, and this interview is no exception-- she shares her insight on what it is like to have BPD, BPD and anger, misconceptions about BPD, what resources would have been helpful growing up, and advice to others with BPD. She also discusses thoughts on what would increase protections for vulnerable people in group home environments.
