Title: New here—Struggling to cope with adult daughter's moods Post by: Season1 on March 27, 2018, 08:18:01 AM My adult daughter who lives with me has BPD. I'm nearly 60 and she is 26. I am struggling to cope with her moods and the forthright way she speaks to my friends. I love her dearly. What can I do?

For sure, dealing with someone who exhibits BPD behaviours is a struggle... .a real challenge. Everyone here can attest to that. So sorry this is your story, too. Tell us more about your situation. Is your daughter holding down a job? Do you have family support? Have you or your daughter ever had counselling? So glad you found this website, Season1. It is a first step towards a different and, hopefully, a better tomorrow. If you want change to happen, though, it has to start with you. To the right |---> |---> is a treasure trove of information with links to even more. What you will find here is support as you walk your way through making changes. For me, it was nice knowing I had someplace to vent and be heard... .all the while being anonymous. I could pour out my heart without worrying about being judged. Hope you find that same kind of comfort here. Once again... .welcome to you Season1. As you read the posts of others and have others respond to you, you will find that your story is not totally unique... .you are not alone in your struggles.
