Hi.  I'm new here.  My son was diagnosed with BPD about 18 months ago, but I really just started coming to terms with what this means for him and for us.  I'm looking for support and words of wisdom from this community.

Thanks!

Hi DoodleMom99,

Welcome

I'm glad that you reached out for support!

It sounds like the Dx may have taken a while to sink in for both of you.  It's he living with you? What are the both of you struggling with at the moment? I hope to hear more and how best we can help support you.
