I struggle with this because I have met a lot of really great people that I have dated. They are open about the fact that are victims of childhood trauma, and they are in therapy and making great progress.
Everything starts out great, over time these patterns develop, and they claim that it is not their fault, it's the disorder. At some point it is the actual person that is doing things that effect you in negative ways, but they act as though they are not to blame, and they have no responsibility for their actions.
If a person has Borderline Personality Disorder they'll have intense mood swings, dread being abandoned, struggle maintaining healthy relationships, and may act impulsively. Because people with BPD struggle with a lot, it's crucial for people around them to understand the mental condition and be supportive.
When and where do you draw the line?
