On the Borderline

So here's how I grew up: I'd get home from middle school, and my brothers would be getting home from work. They would immediately start smoking weed. And drinking and watching "The Rockford Files." That is how I grew up. That is my normal. Normal to me is coming home from school and  a group of guys hitting the bong and drinking. At night, while I lay in bed, my brother sold drugs in the next room and blasted Led Zeppelin. But I still like Led Zep. My Therapist would say that's a dialectic. I don't really understand. And one of those guys recently died, hit by a car while driving a motorcycle.
But that takes us to the next phase: borderline personality disorder. I'm delving into DBT--dialectical behavior therapy. DBT apparently arose specifically to treat BPD. So there you go. But back to BPD. So, more to come as I try to figure out BPD and DBT.
