I did not know about this. I'm just learning about this disorder. I have gone through many years of challenges and believe I have an adult child (undiagnosed) with this disorder.

Hi Daytonagirl

I join heartandwhole in welcoming you to the community, I'm glad you found your way to and joined us here.    You are certainly not alone in not knowing about this    I did not either, how are you feeling?

Many members children here are 'undiagnosed' and make personal progress here with support of us members and use of the tools and resources here.

Hope and small steps.

Hi Daytonagirl, I too would like to welcome you. You have definitely come to the right place to find information about BPD and to get support from fellow members.

Like you I’d never heard of BPD before but once I started to find out more about it I came to realise that my son probably has traits. He is in denial and blames his family for all his problems.

We are here for you Daytonagirl, whenever or if you feel like sharing a little bit more x
