Protecting a teen daughter from

Actions/disposition of BPD partner

There is not much that one can do but to have a serious talk with your teen daughter about life, mental illness, (and alcoholism if applicable), and so on.

Give her the facts in shortened form, the resources (Even this website to learn from), and ways to avoid her BPD-parent's odd behaviour.

There is not much one can do other than that.

But spend time with your teen daughter. Lots of time.

So is your daughter dating someone suffering from BPD?

Or is it your partner?

How old is she?

Hi Red black,

Welcome to the site -- I'm sorry for what brought you here but I'm glad you're with us. Many of us here have struggled to protect our kids from a BPD partner. We are here to help and support each other. Did something happen recently that created problems for your daughter, or for you?

Is your daughter aware that the other parent has a problem? Does she talk to you about it?

Check out Lesson 5 (or if parental alienation is a problem, Lesson 6) to the right ---------> in the sidebar. There is a lot of great information there about how to raise an emotionally resilient kid when one parent has BPD.

Keep us posted on how things are going for you. Hang in there.
