Is she diagnosed? How are you taking care of her, and what kinds of things are you struggling with?

Hi Peaches1980
I woud like to join
Turkish
in welcoming you here. I too am curious to know in what ways you are taking care of her. Does your mother live with you perhaps?
Is your mother officially diagnosed with BPD and if she is, is she getting any kind of targeted treatment for her issues? What would you say are your mother's most difficult traits?
Having concerns and/or feeling scared is quite normal I think considering that BPD is quite a serious disorder. What are you most afraid of or concerned about? What do you think might happen?
