Daughter has BPD

[Shadow08]

Hi there I'm from UK , my daughter bless her has BPD, and at mo her mental health is bad as she's suffering depression badly at mo, she also got ADHD and ASD, it was so bad last night I thought for one second she be sectioned , but talked on phone to someone who is mental health services, but it's hard here as her daughter also lives with me, they both do, granddaughter has ADHD and ASD and present hard to get to school. Sorry moaning I'm just feel bad as her BPD stems from my narsiccict ex husband and what he did,

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

Hi Shadow08
Don't feel bad - you have an enormous load to carry! I am glad there was an opportunity for help the other night for the crisis you had. It is difficult when people are under the same roof - and different generations can be even more difficult. I am finding this at the moment.

Welcome to a place where people understand just how challenging it is to journey with a loved one with BPD. Our journeys are all different, but we all know how difficult and exhausting the constant crises and demands can be.

Coming here is a great help for me - just reading posts and knowing that 'out there' there is a group of people who are facing the same or similar challenges. It also helped me realise how necessary it is to find some way of nurturing yourself. I hope you have found ways of doing this.

Thank you for posting. It helps all of us.
