In
writing her new book Breaking Free fromBoomerang
Love, Lynn's personal mission is to raise awareness
of boomerang love so that it becomes a household phrase, the
meaning of which is clear to everyone.
She believes that repeatedly leaving and
then returning to a painful relationship with another person is a
sign that something is seriously wrong - we just haven't known
what that something is.
Our culture is essentially color blind
to the behavior of borderline personality disordered (BPD)
people. Few know that there is an actual name and mental
health diagnosis for the hurtful behavior that BPD's inflict on
their partners in relationships. With the awareness that this
book generates about BPD, Lynn hopes that families will
seek professional mental health assistance sooner, both for
themselves and the BPD they love.
Lynn has served as
executive director of the Mental Health Association in her home
town. Working with an all-volunteer board and community
volunteers, she worked to educate people about mental health
issues. She has also served on numerous charitable boards
and with many non-profit organizations. She currently
works as a long term care insurance agent and resides in the
Central Coast region of California.
