Parent Support Group Children BPD

[KHC_33]

Is there any support groups to help parents of kids with BPD?

I have enrolled my youngest as my oldest BPD daughter lashes out at times. My youngest is confused by her behavior to self harm, suicidal idealism etc and BPD mode.

I know growing up with a BPD mom but my daughter is more passive. My mother is aggressive. It's very different having a parent vs a child.

Is anyone else in the same boat as me? I would love to connect. Tell me what works for you.

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

Just got diagnosed this Sun. I am currently staying in a hotel out of town while she's at a center. We are going to the mood disorders clinic tomorrow. The plan is additional meds and revap the treatment plan as far as DBT/management of BPD. We have been here almost a week.

No the current meds she's on was for depression/anixety only (hasn't been working). She needs additional. DBT yes she has been doing it for a while but now they will target specific treatment directed towards BPD

Hi KHC_33 

I join Skip welcoming you to our parents support group. Sorry to hear the dep/anxiety meds are not working, how long has your daughter been on them? It took a while to get my 30yr daughter dep/anxiety meds right back in 2015/16. How has she received the recent diagnosis?

Been almost 3 years since. She tried zoloft then she was put on prozac.
My daughter is afraid. Scared she's going to be like my BPD Mom.

Thank you for your warm welcome
