Daughter with BPD

[SSinNYC]

I am a 57 year old man that is divorced 15 years now

My daughter  is 16 and was living with my ex until just recently and she was diagnosed with BPD and at first it was my idea of a teenager but now it's becoming hard to cope.

I am lucky and happy to found this board

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

Hello SSinNYC and  

You say your daughter was living with your ex until recently, does she now live with you? And you also stated that she was recently diagnosed with BPD, was this while living with your ex or after she moved from that home?

I am also glad you found this site, and I would love to hear more about your daughters situation. You can re-post on the Parenting a son or daughter suffering from BPD board

board. This is where there are other parents who will be able to relate to you and your situation, There are also Tools and Lessons that are quite helpful in dealing with a BPD child, those are off to the right hand side of the L5 Parenting board.

I'll look for you There.
