Title: I’m a parent who is struggling, looking for advice
Post by: Anon57 on January 20, 2026, 05:15:05 AM
Hi - my first post. I have a 34 yo daughter recently diagnosed with BPD after many years of counselling for various issues and culminating in several suicide threats as well as depression. Like many of the contributors here, we have dug her out of so many holes financially and emotionally and given so much time and support to her. I’m 73 now and frankly tired, depressed and dispirited by it all. I’ve reached the stage that I want to move well away in fact, especially since her latest desire is to have a baby with her boyfriend of 6 months (who lives a plane ride away and can’t move in with her). Frankly, I’m horrified by this and only see more anguish down the road with worry about any child she has. Anybody been in this situation?
