I think I can clear up the confusion, Iamafaerie
When you see a post where some of the replies are encouraging the original poster to go to the
Parenting Board, or the
Parenting a Son or Daughter suffering from BPD Board, it's because that thread originated on the New Member Board. The thread in question will most likely have the "
CD" designation on the first post, meaning "Child with BPD".
On the New Member Board (the Message Board where Newbies first post an Intro thread), Ambassadors and friendly members will go in and give guidance and comfort, and will give the New Member the information to go to this Message Board (Parenting). Sometimes that thread will be moved to this Board eventually, in order to give the original poster a jump-start onto Parenting to help them with more, and more parenting-centered, replies.
So what you are seeing is a thread with suggestions and links to this Message Board that we are now on. It
can get confusing when that happens, but this
is the Board that was mentioned. At one time it confused
me, too
