Resilience in the Shadows: Understanding and Supporting Young Adults Raised by Mothers with Borderli

Behind closed doors, many young adults grew up navigating emotional chaos, invisible wounds, and silent resilience. Resilience in the Shadows sheds light on their lived experiences - and offers hope.

Rooted in doctoral research and survivor narratives, Dr. Shyanne Anthony blends clinical insight, empirical evidence, and heartfelt validation to reveal the profound impact of being raised by a mother with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). This groundbreaking book offers:

• Trauma-informed strategies for healing emotional wounds and rebuilding identity

• Practical clinical tools for therapists, educators, and advocates

• Policy recommendations to create trauma-responsive systems of care

• A celebration of survivor strength and pathways to thriving

For survivors seeking understanding, clinicians aiming to provide deeper support, and policymakers envisioning trauma-informed communities, this book is a beacon: survival is just the beginning - healing and flourishing are possible.
