Title: Introduction
Post by: sweigand on December 31, 2014, 08:32:49 AM
I just found this website and registered this morning. What led to this? I believe that 1-2 of my sisters and my mom have BPD. Most recently, my sister is having a crisis and has nearly broken all ties with our dad and step-mom. My sister sent to me most of her e-mails to my dad, and his to her. I tried to help by letting our other siblings know what is going on and this backfired. I am hurting for my dad. I feel stressed about the situation. I hate that my sister, who I am very close to, is doing this again.

Hi sweigand,

Welcome!   I can see why you're worried about your dad. It sounds like things have been quite tense for him for a while, and I'm sorry that you're going through this.

Besides cutting off your father, what concerning behaviors do you see from your sister? How is your relationship with your sister?

It's very understandable that you're stressed about this and may feel caught in the middle. The good news is that you're not alone--there are many of us here who have relatives with BPD, and you're bound to find support and advice here. How can we best help you?
