Childhood

Hi,

I know it's been established that many people with BPD have had traumatic childhoods. but what age range does childhood refer to - very early childhood, children under 13, or children under 18?

Thanks

Hey, skyciel! If you need to talk about something, you can do it here. Abuse probably has an effect on the disorder at any age. Sorry I can't help much.

I'd say under 18, mostly. Or into the 20's.

With most of the people I've talked to, the majority of abuse happened around ages 10-18. Hope that helps.
