Title: Feeling Overwhelmed Post by: Ms.G123456 on May 21, 2018, 07:23:18 PM My daughter has BPD. The latest struggle has left me feeling lost. She made improvements and was deemed ready to returns to public school and a less restricted facility m-f and comes home on weekends. I know episodes will come and go but the last emotional situation she jumped out of the car and called the police on me and ceased speaking to me. I waited for the police & no charges were filed. The facility wants me to take her home like usual but refuses to assist me with talking through the situation. They tell me your the parent talk to her bit she refuses my call, curses me out. I've called her therapist, psychitrist & no one is able to assist. I don't know what to do. I am a single parent, and I have her brother to look after as well. I wish I knew how to facilitate a conversation to work through this last episode.
