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 again mindhelp, I saw your and mamachelle's last replies in your intro post. I wish you all the best here on the Supporting a Son or Daughter board. You're in excellent hands! And after a while, in your own time, I recommend you browse around and take a look at all the great resources we have on this site, like workshops, videos and articles. It's great to have you here!

Hi, and welcome. How old is your son?

My BPD son is 22 and life with him can get very complicated sometimes.

Male BPD persons can present differently to females and are often harder to diagnose. My son has been classified as many things in the past, but for us, BPD described him exactly.
