What evidence is ther for BPD and RAD being hereditary? RAD is not an organic disorder resulting from a medical condition. RAD is the direct result of severe abuse and/or neglect. BPD is unhealed RAD in an adult as was previously mentioned.
At best, you could say that a parent with BPD could continue the cycle of abuse and neglect and the child could end up with it as a result. However, I don't think you can say that there's a chance that a child born of a parent with BPD could inherit the condition like they could with their eye color or many medical conditions.
