How many negatives can they have in that sentence okay well then I put this I read this section here and it said all people not just non-borderlines have the right to healthy relationships however after months of or years of enduring excessive criticism blame and borderline rage most non-borderlines may begin to question whether or not they deserve a healthy relationship. And I said, and vice versa, because a lot of the time we're the ones who are subject to excessive criticism, blame, abuse, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And also don't feel that we deserve to have a healthy relationship because oftentimes we've been told that that by professionals, like you're never going to have a healthy relationship. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
