This quarter's pick:
Stop Walking on Eggshells for Parents – How to Help Your Child (of Any Age) with Borderline Personality Disorder Without Losing Yourself
by Randi Kreger, Christine Adamec, Daniel S. Lobel
I chose Stop Walking on Eggshells for Parents because it offers one of the clearest, most compassionate guides for families navigating intense emotions, relational instability, or patterns commonly associated with BPD. It provides practical tools for communication, boundary-setting, and understanding the emotional cycles that often confuse or exhaust caregivers. The authors balance validation with accountability beautifully, helping parents stay grounded while supporting a child who may experience the world in extremes. This book supports that duality: love + limits, connection + self-preservation.
