Hi Jadabel7

I am sorry to hear that you're having these problems with your child. Parenting a child with BPD traits can indeed be quite challenging so I understand why you might feel at a loss. Could you tell us a bit more about what's going on with your daughter? What are the behaviors you see that lead you to believe that these might be symptoms of BPD? How old is she now and is she perhaps being treated for the BPD symptoms?

To help you deal with what's going on with your child, I suggest you you take a look at the resources to the right of this message board. These resources can help you better understand what's going on here and help you communicate with your daughter.

You say her actions are destroying your family. What are her behaviors that you find the most difficult to deal with?

Take care and I hope you'll be able to tell us some more about your situation
