Hello Mmh
I'd like to welcome you to bpdfamily forum and glad you've joined us here.
You are running on empty dealing with BPD, drug addiction resonates with so many parents here, you are not alone. What's happening with your daughter right now Mmh, how are you coping, do you have support of a family member or friend?
Talking here with parents who understand really helps. We are listening.

Hello Mmh
I would like to join
wendydarling
in welcoming you here, you are in a safe place where there are lots of people who can relate to what you are going through and who can offer you help and support.
You have been dealing with your daughter and her drug abuse for years, all of which has now left you ‘running on empty’, no wonder you are feeling this way.
Is there anything specifically that we can help you with? Or if you prefer we can just “listen” x
