The whole vibe I get from this chapter is kind of a savior mentality of parents. But I don't think that's healthy for any side of this. And I don't think it's true. Most parents are not initially able to deal with borderline and help deal with it. The idea that these parents are saving the world from their child, I just don't think that's a very realistic way of the way parenting actually works with a child with mental health issues.
