I was raised with an older sister with BPD she was 15 when I was born and had a great deal of issues. Unfortunately for themselves and the people around them sufferers of BPD are aggressive, paranoid, manipulative and prone to self harm and they have an uncanny knack of making you feel crazy yourself.

Sometimes I wonder if BPD isn't the work of the devil, my sister would have 'fits' where she would blaspheme, self harm, scream in unintelligible languages, deny Christ, roll her eyes into her head so they appeared white, punch through walls and much more. As a toddler she began speaking in African and claiming she was from a tribe. She spoke African better then she did English.

Annoyingly they often know their effect on people but continue to do it anyway or embrace and revel in their manipulative ways. It was especially bad for me as a child from before birth she encouraged my Mum to get an abortion because she wanted to stay the only child and not share attention her truly destructive behavior began when I was born, she began self harming and homosexual relationships, I believe it was attention seeking jealousy.

Growing up I had some special needs and learning difficulties and she would always being to act out when Mum and Dad needed to help me I couldn't count the times I was taken to hospital to say goodbye to her because she was dying and the doctors didn't expect her to last the night after a suicide attempt. It's mostly settled down these days because we are both adults who don't live at home and furthermore I am not close to my parents so she revels in the solitary attention.
