Hi there 473harman
I couldn't visit the board and leave without posting back to you.
I'm so pleased that your daughter is getting the therapy she needs and is progressing. It's heartening to hear and I wanted to thank you for sharing this with us here. My BPDs doesn't seek treatment and, at 26, I often wonder if he ever will and it's very frustrating.
she definitely suffered from anxiety, depression and was self injuring before the trauma occurred. So did that trigger the BPD]
I'm interested to know how old was your daughter when you noticed these signs?
My BPDs always was "difficult" and I now know this was his anxiety throughout his childhood, depression came in his teens. So I think the long term anxiety and me not being emotionally available to him brought on the BPD. PTSD was suggested at 19 and diagnosis of BPD at 24.
It's just so complicated and I understand you trying to unravel it and get a better understanding.
Fortunately, my family is in a better place now with the better communication and validation skills learnt here. We have a much better relationship and have found a way forward despite the problems.
How long is your daughters placement and how are your visits going?
