Title: Getting a diagnosis Post by: Midgetymom on November 15, 2015, 11:52:52 PM my daughter and her husband are having severe marital problems,and are close to divorce. I feel there is a possibility she may be Borderline. Has a long family history... .walking on eggshells. Had a very serious boyfriend die several years ago and has not been able to have stable relationships since, married a "safe" man, but says she doesn't love him. He is about to call it quits after 12 years of her craziness.

Has your daughter ever been in therapy? Losing a significant other is destabilizing for the healthiest of persons. When a person with BPD (pwBPD) loses someone close to them it can be devastating and may require counseling to move forward in a healthy way. From the title of your topic it seems you want to know how to get her to go to therapy. What will happen if the divorce/separation occurs? Will your d come back into your home?

I wanted to join lbjnltx in welcoming you to the Parenting board. Do you and your D have a relationship where she will talk to you? I had a similar to question to lbjnltx about whether your D has ever been in therapy, or if her H might suspect she is BPD. LnL |
