Title: Added trauma and poor choices Post by: marchstar on April 08, 2026, 08:21:48 PM My 27yo daughter was diagnosed with BPD at 16. When I found out about her illness I read Stop Walking on Egghells by Randi Kreger and it helped me understand so much. A few years ago she made some poor choices and was involved in a very abusive relationship. Now she is working through the trauma. What are some resources I can find to help me, help her?

That’s a heavy mix-BPD plus trauma from an abusive relationship. Makes sense you’re looking for ways to support her without it overwhelming both of you. You’ve already done a lot by educating yourself. From here, keeping it simple can help: • DBT (skills for regulation and stability) • Trauma-informed therapy (at her pace) • For you: boundaries + validation (support without taking it all on) If you’re open to sharing-what kind of support is she getting right now? |
