Re: Can I help my brother?

I hope your brother doesn't get too bogged down in labels. While it might be helpful to put a name to what his girlfriend's problem is, it's just a name. Dealing with her behavior is the main focus here, and if her behavior makes him feel miserable and unsafe in his own freaking home, it doesn't matter what a therapist or doctor calls it.

Especially if she's in denial and refusing to seek treatment for her BPD. I'd say his chances were shaky even if she were still in therapy and still working on managing her BPD, but without that? Forget about it. Don't badmouth the girlfriend or call her names. Tell him you'll be there for him no matter what, promise him that you will NOT say 'I told you so' if he decides he wants out. He may stay longer in that relationship just out of shame and embarrassment, and you don't want that. A lot of people stay far longer than they should because they've invested so much into a person/relationship, but sometimes you really just have to cut your losses.
