Borderline Personality Disorder

Hello
 
So recently after a victim of family violence incident  I was diagnosed with BPD despite having no issues with anger, self identity or obvious implusive behaviours . During diagnose hospital team explain to me what I'm having is not family violence and my reactions of fear and distress is not normal response to my family actions.
 
This one of most confusing diagnose I have as would thought being physically assaulted by family would be family violence and fear and distress be very natural responses, but my diagnosed team ensured it's just BPD acting up. Further it was suggested that cause of BPD maybe unknowingly I pretend be gay just to upset my family.
It was also suggested it's my duty to ensure relationship with family is stable and it can be done even when they are attacking me.
 
This so strange be told after years abuse I getting actually all my own fault cause of BPD and i need fix instead of family changing abusive behaviors.
