Hello-
Just found this group. My son(28) is newly diagnosed with BPD. Was diagnosed previously as bipolar. Not sure what are next steps for him- he left for in patient treatment today for a month or more. So hard being on this merry go round….

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

Hello Mgardin and welcome to the group 

I hope you're able to get some much needed rest and time to self care during the month or so your son is an in-patient. Did your son voluntarily sign up for in-patient treatment? My DD was diagnosed at 26 back in 2015, I'd never heard of BPD. Are they saying it's BPD and not bi-polar, or is it co-morbid as can be the case.

I hope you can step off the merry go round here with us, to firmer ground.
