I’m in the middle of reading “Stop walking on Eggshells” and it lead me to this site. I find myself shaking my head yes so many times while I’m reading. I can’t wait to get to the part that hopefully helps me react better to my daughter’s angry outbursts. I’m looking forward to exploring  the site and check out the resources.

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

Mule,



We are here to listen to you and support you emotionally.

SWOE is an excellent book to understand if your pwBPD is a borderline, narcissist or both as it has an excellent assessment tool in the third edition.

I personally feel that the tools in the book have less teeth than another book you may want to look at "Stop Caretaking the Borderline Or Narcissist: How to End the Drama and Get on with Life" by Margalis Fjelstad.

There are also resources on this site to look at as well at:  https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?topic=329744.0

You can vent here, ask questions, as there are many people here who have the same or very similar story to yours.

Be sure to take self-care as this can be exhausting, whatever that may look like for you.

Take care.

I can’t wait to get to the part that hopefully helps me react better to my daughter’s angry outbursts.

How are things working so far? My relationship with my stepdaughter was a roller coaster until I started to make a few changes. I imagine it's a bit tougher when there's a long history and you're the person she reacts most strongly to.

Does she live with you or nearby?
