That literally makes no sense though because even if that diagnosis was correct... "*Childhood trauma and early life adversity play a key role in the development of BPD*."
Its the same for Narcissism, Anti-Social Personality Disorder, DID etc. You think, personality is developed during childhood. If there's a challenge within your personality that's causing as much harm to you like BPD can - it's likely the result of trauma caused when your personality was developing...
Gaslighters will literally always gaslight you, there's no point arguing with it. I Learnt recently that it's better to simply say "We will always have a disagreement about that" and then set your boundary, that takes their gaslighting power away because you've shut down their option to manipulate you into thinking they're in the right forever.
