After 18 yrs of being on an emotional roller coaster we have concluded that our son has BPD- I'm incredibly drained and simply want a supportive community as there is no one for me to talk to who also has a similar situation.  I read the wonderful book called When Hope is not Enough- and our son has been very open to therapy- he had been in intensive ACT therapy and will be starting dbt next week.  I just need more help separating myself from him.

Just want to say "Welcome". I, too, have been on a similar roller coaster with my 16 year old daughter.
