1992. Sufferers of borderline personalities and those who love them

December 1st, 1992. Geraldo Rivera on his namesake talk show brings us this introductory segment on what life is like living on the edge.

“You could talk to him but he really didn’t understand what you were saying. Like in a fog, or a dead stare…he was going through these type of seizures…”

We learn about Ron who has had over 40 jobs, driven 120mph on regular roads, can’t trust anyone, and been verbally abusive to his wife of 21 years, also in studio. After hearing the details of what this life is like we meet the other guests, many of whom fly into unpredictable rages, possibly due to trauma suffered earlier in life.

This day, Geraldo’s television history.
