Yeah, that's the hope for sure.

Yeah, for sure.

You raised a question, though, in my mind.

I wonder what percentage of boomer grandparents aren't allowed to see their grandchildren.

I'll bet it's higher than you'd think.

Like just don't have contact with their grandkids.

Right, yeah, for sure.

But also, I think in some cases, the more they dote, they're actually also undermining the parenting of their kids.

If you have BPD, I would guess that would be a rage-inducing trigger.

I imagine it would be.

So there are plenty of other ways that you could probably develop BPD.

Another very classic one is any kind of abuse, emotional, sexual, physical abuse at the hands of your parent or a caregiver.

Yeah.

And they say that about 80% of people with BPD experience some level of childhood trauma, whether it was emotional neglect or some sort of abuse.

It's a huge factor, a huge risk factor in developing BPD for sure.

Well, it's like that's a chicken or the egg question, though.

Like, were you like that, you know, already and your parents just reinforcing it?

Or did you get that kind of did you learn to do that because of your parents' behavior?

It's like not chicken or the egg, but parent or the disorder.

But we said earlier that there's also believed to be a biological component to it, too, that it's not all psychological.
