new member, looking for the parents' message board

[justmekate]

Hi,

I'm the mom of a late-20s BPD son.  I don't at all know how to get started here.  I'd like to join the parents' message board, if I could just see how to do that.

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 Justmekate and   

i'm so glad  you're here--I can only imagine how tough that would be as a mom, and I love it that you care enough to get involved in learning more about BPD so you can help him.

When was he diagnosed, if he was, and how long did you wonder what was going on with him? Does he live with you currently, and do you have any family support, or friends?

This article gives you a good idea of the kind of resources you can find here at BPD family: Supporting a Loved-one with Borderline Personality Disorder

Looking forward to learning more about you so we can help you even better,
