My young adult daughter

[Parents! Get help here!]

My 21 years old daughter has been showing traits of BPD, for the last three years.
I have tried to help her and seeking different kinds of treatment but she refuses to stick with anything. I have been receiving psychiatric help just to try to deal with my daughter. I think it has been helpful. My doctor saw my daughter twice or three times during the last year and half. I have been seeing him for almost two years, and telling him everything that has happened. He never wanted to admit that she has BPD until last week but he insists that the BPD developed after a traumatic event. During her senior year in high school, she got drunk in school and I found out that she tried marijuana. Her grades never changed she was above average, happy, good sense of humor, well liked by her teachers and peers.
Went away to college but never finish her first semester. She had a great childhood, playing sports, Girl Scout, playing instruments, traveling to other countries, working with the youth group from our church, volunteer work. I miss my daughter and I won't give up until she accepts treatment and stick with it.

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

Hi Margol,

Welcome and hello 

My SO's D19 and it reminds me so much how hard it is to emancipate and become an adult. Having BPD or even BPD traits certainly makes it much harder.

What is your daughter doing now? How does she spend her time?

Does she believe she has BPD?

Keep posting. It really does help to know you are not alone.
