I'm struggling - I've cut ties with my mother. Is there a specific board on here for support ? Thank you. I phoned therapists to get her help and was told she's too old for any treatment. Once you hit 66 it's not treatable. My fiancée ex is also BPD and it triggers me all the time with what he goes through and the custody. Best boards for support would be appreciated.

Hi SheWas,
I'm sorry to hear that You're on the right board if you want to share about you mother. I'm glad that you have us, you'll fin many members here like you that can offer guidance and support. You're not alone.
I'm also sorry to hear about the difficulties your fiancee is facing with his BPD ex, I can also see how stressful that would feel for you. I'd share on the co-parenting board. You'll also find the lessons on this board and the far right. I'll leave you for now with a couple of links.
