Well, Borderline Personality disorder is not something that can be taken lightly, so I do understand your worries. But, still, up to now, there has been no firm evidence about the possibility of inheritance. Of course, we might mention the fact the personalities are inherited, behavior pattern, characteristics etc, but still, when we talk about genetics, there should not be any worries
