Title: I'm taking the first step
Post by: IHaveGotThis on February 18, 2022, 05:30:33 AM
:hi: I'm taking the first step. I have an adult child with BPD, and I have been slowly driving myself crazy being pulled into her drama. After a week of suicide attempts, and her trying to be admitted to the hospital, she was sent home only for the drama to begin again. I have been trying to do this on my own, but I know I can't. What I've created is a co-dependent relationship that's seriously affecting my own mental health now too.

Congrats and welcome!   Thanks for making us a part of your network.  You are correct in that you are just as important as your BPD child.  As you are able, can you please tell us a little more- is your child a minor or an adult?  We are here for you.
