My Middle Age Son has BPD

[familymatters]

My son who is now 48 has probably had BPD since childhood but in the past 10 years his personality has gotten quite irrational.   He displays every single symptom of BPD and my daughter-in-law is at a loss as to what to do as are his three sons.    My granddaughter who he adored was killed in an auto accident three years ago which seems to have sent him over the edge.   

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

Hi emilyhugo

Welcome to you, I'm so sorry for your loss.   It's devastating for a parent and family members to lose a child, my friends lost their daughter last year.

Can you describe your sons irrational behaviour? Has any therapy been sought at any time over the years, before or since the loss? Do you think your son recognises he is struggling?
