See "Stop walking on eggshells" by Paul Mason & Randi Kreger - it has a great checklist so you can see how strong the indicators are for BPD.
My 18yo daughter is the poster child for this disorder (she has all sypmtoms listed except one). My other kids (all were adopted from foster care & were abused/neglected in some way) have some of the symptoms but not nearly as many as my 18yo.
I only got the book this weekend but it is excellent and I am excited as it gives tips for dealing with the behaviors.

If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going, 'you know, we're alright. We are dang near royalty.
