Finally! I believe I have found the explanation for my father's irrational behavior from the time I was 2 years to his death 4 years ago.



9 traits of BPD.

On top of the ground being shifted under my feet, my father would accuse me of inciting his sudden explosive anger and encourage my mother and siblings to accept that blame, thereby alienating me from my family. And then he'd gaslight me, accusing me of imagining something was wrong with him. He also had explosive hysteria syndrome.

I always believed it wasn't me but the gaslighting was almost too much to bear.

You have no idea how much better I feel.
