Growing up in emotional storms leaves marks the world can't always see - but you feel them every day.
This groundbreaking and compassionate book offers a voice to those raised by mothers with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), blending powerful research, lived experience, and heartfelt validation.

Based on her doctoral research, Dr. Shyanne Anthony explores the invisible wounds, resilient adaptations, and extraordinary courage of young adults shaped by borderline-affected parenting. This book offers:

• Clear, research-backed insights into how BPD impacts parenting and child development

• Tools for understanding attachment trauma, emotional complexity, and survival adaptations

• Healing pathways focused on self-compassion, identity rebuilding, and relational trust

• Practical support strategies for survivors, clinicians, educators, and advocates

• A reminder that healing is not about erasing your story - it's about reclaiming it

Whether you are a survivor seeking language and hope, a clinician supporting clients, or an advocate pushing for systemic change, this book invites you to witness resilience, validate pain, and imagine a future beyond survival.

You were always worthy of being asked, "Are you okay?" - and of answering, in your own time, with hope.
