Making a Child Borderline-Secret Motivations of the Mother
Exlpore what, if any, secret movitations mothers have for creating children who are diagnosed with Borderline and Histrionic PD as adults. To be able to identify specific findings and ideas as to how this occurs and why. Is it on purpose, or just generational overflow.
Another theory proposes that mothers may foster extreme codependency between themselves and their children while expecting too much responsibility from them at an early age. By taking on more caretaking roles than appropriate for a child’s age level, mothers can create intense attachment issues that could eventually become problematic enough to be diagnosed as BPD/HPD later on in life.
Finally, generational overflow can also play a role in causing one's offspring to develop BPD or HPD later in life if those same personality traits were present within previous generations of the family tree. Since many psychological disorders tend to run genetically through families, this transmission is always possible even if no explicit behaviors are modeled or taught by parents or other relatives directly responsible for raising them during childhood years.
