Title: Adult Daughter Post by: Jesselyn on January 09, 2017, 04:01:44 PM My adult daughter has symptoms of BPD. She is married with two children. I drive the children back and forth to school, so I am aware of what is going on. She is very private and ignores me when she is overreacting. I believe she is on medication but still has episodes. If I try to discuss anything personal, she gets upset and I want to be able to see the children to be sure they are OK, so I keep quiet. Is there any way I can help make life happier for the children and help my daughter to cope with her emotions?
