Title: Relief Post by: humbledmum on August 29, 2015, 08:52:47 AM Hello my 21yr old daughter has recently been diagnosed with BPD. I have just watched one of the videos for family members and am in tears. I didnt fully appreciate how life is for my child. I was too defended coping with her behaviours. Now I get it and can walk along side of her without feeling so overwhelmed and dragged back to darker days from my own past.
Thankyou All Title: Re: Relief Post by: lbjnltx on August 29, 2015, 11:20:44 AM Hello humbledmum and welcome to the Parenting Board.
I'm so sorry that you and your daughter are suffering from her illness, I also have a daughter with BPD, she is 18. You have accomplished a great thing by affirming your love and compassion for your daughter. Keeping compassion is the key to learning the skills and practicing them effectively to benefit self, our kids w/BPD and our relationship with them. I am glad you are here! lbj |
