Odear,
You've come to the right place!  We're all in the same boat here.   There's lots of great information on the right hand side of the page, which has been helping me a lot!  Also, just knowing you're not alone helps.

Is your son in treatment?  What is happening in your world right now?

What are you doing for yourself?  You'll soon see that people here will remind you that you must take care of yourself.  it will help you deal with the stressors in your life.

Welcome to the group.  Remember, you're not alone!

Hi O dear,



I'd like to join1hope and welcome you to bpdfamily. I'm sorry that you're going through a difficult time, I'm glad that you decided to join our group. I'd suggest to read as much as you can about the disorder, it will help to normalize the behavior by understanding why your son acts / reacts the way that he does and finally it will help you with depersonalizing the behavior.

I completely understand how emotionally exhausting and draining the behaviors are, try to seperate yourself from the behaviors, it's something that your son is going through it's not personal to you.

Can you tell us a little more, is there something that's currently going on now that motivated you to seek help?
