AIBU to be very annoyed that people are using real or imagined diagnoses of Mental Health Disorders to justify attempts to remove full or partial custody from the other parent in the Relationships Section of MN??

Surely they should focus on behaviour NOT diagnosis (mostly not professional diagnoses either, it seems, but just gathered from a read of internet sources that can be totally biased).

I'm sick of people mixing up Borderline (BPD) & Narcissistic (NPD). They are totally, completely different.

I'm sorry but have to go out (for lunch with a friend - yes, people who suffer with BPD do often have friends!!). So can't catch up with any replies for a couple of hours or so.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, the relationships section of MN does not have any legal jurisdiction and is unable to legislate on whether someone should have access to their children or not, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

That said, I completely understand your frustration at amateur diagnosis via the internet.
