New here

[One day at a tim]

Just wanted to say hello. I am new here. My adult daughter has BPD. I am at my wits end.

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 One day at a time and glad you are here.

I am in the same boat as yourself - adult DD, BPD and a lifetime of chaos. I came here many, many years ago - DD a teenager - and so grateful I did! One thing that helped was reading all the things that others had tried. It alerted me to the fact that I had to 'let go' of trying to 'make it better' (even though my heart was breaking at her situation).

The other thing was finally Iwas among people who were coping with the same chaos and pain. No one else - friends or family - understood. They just gave the 'tough love' advice without understanding anything about BPD. It helped a great deal to be among people who knew BPD up close!

I hope you find it helpful to come here and be with us on the BPD journey with a loved - but impossible - child.
