My step mom growing up most likely had BPD.
The way I explained it as I got older – think about someone who is bi-polar rapid cycling. One min everything is fine, next min triggered by something and it is the end of the world. The drama triangle is a real thing. Where if their “person” shows kindness towards another the BPD sufferer draws the conclusion that they are no longer valid. This can lead to abuse, malice towards the “other”, irrational conclusions.
It’s a vicious cycle.
