Childhood Behavior Disorders
Posted by admin on Thursday Sep 24, 2009 Under Child Behavior
If your husband or wife has a disorder like BPD, can you aquire it as well?
The old adage that “people teach you how to treat them” is true for most things, but what about for people with personality disorders. Can you acquire the symptoms if you have been living with someone for a considerable period of time. Can you manifest the behaviors because of childhood upbringing – if your parents were bipolar? What is the connection between personality disorders and the spouses of people with them?
Uh, one person has the disorder and the other goes truckin crazy trying to have a real relationship in spite of it. Usually, honestly, the one with the disorder projects so much onto the other person that without outside validation from ‘normal’ people, their behavior might change believing what their S/O accuses them of. Make no mistake: they teach you how to treat them. Treat them as if they are always right, no matter what, or face the consequences. These disorders aren’t diseases, they’re demonic possessions.
edit: Stop with the thumbs down, people. I don’t claim that it’s contagious. I am simply saying that without some outside validation for the non, they may start to believe what their partners are projecting on them. It can just be a lethal injection to one’s self-esteem.
edit #2: I think the connection between someone with a PD and their S/O/spouse is that they see someone who can be manipulated, whether that is their conscious attempt or not. The disease tells them that being wrong is unacceptable so they will fight tooth and nail (often times very subtly, yet often times very vocally) to convince their partner that they are the one who is wrong. It is devestating to even those with the most self-confidence.
