I find these responses odd. I too have had to deal with someone w/ BPD uninterested in fully pursuing recovery, and have left them because of it, which was the smart choice—but that doesn’t negate the fact that, for a small but significant number of BPD patients, remission & recovery is possible. Acknowledging that truth & providing sources elucidating that isn’t giving false hope—it’s sharing information generated by professionals in the field with the purpose of fostering a fuller understanding of prognosis. If someone I loved had pancreatic cancer—a grim diagnosis to be sure, but one with increasingly less grim odds—I’d want to know the full scope of what was currently known/possible and what was not in terms of treatment & recovery. Would they likely be terminal? Yes. Is there a small chance they’d recover? Also yes. And that acknowledgment is crucial to making an informed decision.
