Title: *Daughter: Is there any hope that she can get better? Post by: TTLS on November 20, 2017, 10:12:41 PM My daughter is 31, married with two kids. Is there any hope that she can get better? I see it's affecting her 7 year old daughter and she puts her husband through hell. How can you help the BP to help themselves? Can anyone recommend a therapist in O.C. CA that specializes in this all consuming disorder? Thank you

*hi* I join No-One and Daisy123 welcoming you here. Many parents with grands and children are in a similar situation to you, you are not alone As Daisy123 says many people find their way into treatment with our understanding and gentle support of loved ones. I learnt my daughter had to be ready to take on the most painful challenge, face her fears, herself, its been small steps. We also have parents here who have learnt the skills and lessons, based DBT |---> and are making equivalent progress with their child, who is not in treatment. TTLS what behaviours is your daughter expressing? Is a good place to start. WDx |
