AIM: The aim of this study was to describe significant others' experiences of living close to a person with borderline personality disorder and their experience of encounter with psychiatric care. METHODS: Data were collected by free-text questionnaires and group interviews and were analyzed by qualitative content analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The results revealed four categories: a life tiptoeing; powerlessness, guilt, and lifelong grief; feeling left out and abandoned; and lost trust. The first two categories describe the experience of living close to a person with BPD, and the last two categories describe encounter with psychiatric care. 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
