Title: So thankful to have found this group Post by: sadstepmom2019 on November 13, 2019, 03:36:42 PM SO happy to have found this site...just beginning our journey with my 19 year stepson (who has shown BPD traits for many years and was recently diagnosed...) My husband and I are at our wits end...and emotionally drained. Just reading other people's stories is helpful. What should we do first? suggestions? :help:

Welcome to the group :hi: I'm on a short break at work but did want to stop in and say hello :) You are not in this alone everyone here has someone with BPD or BPD traits in their lives we "get it". If you are like me when I first arrived here I was amazed at how similar our stories can be. Here is a link on "How to get the most out of this site" just click on it to read more... https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?topic=331689.msg13020067#msg13020067 Can you tell us a little bit more about your family...How long have you and your husband been together? How old was your step-son when you came on the scene? Do you have other children in your household? What are you finding most challenging when it comes to your SS19 (stepson 19)? I hope you will continue to post, I have found this site and it's members to be very helpful and think you will too. Hang in there :hug: Panda39 Title: Re: So thankful to have found this group Post by: FaithHopeLove on November 13, 2019, 08:09:05 PM Hello SadStepmom
I join Panda in welcoming you to this amazing group. We are glad you are here. You asked what to do first. The answer is self care. You have a long journey ahead and you will need to be strong. Coming here and writing your first post was a big step in the right direction. What else are you or could you be doing to care for yourself? Hugs Faith |
