Child Abandonment

[AliceBigandSmall]

Hi all.  last year my BPD adult daughter's behaviour amplified.  She has a pattern of false accusations and a story of abandonment despite intense efforts by the family to support her and keep her stable.  She isolated herself, created more false stories (cancer, abuse etc..) and finally two months ago abandoned her two small children (after telling them false stories and terrifying them).  I really try hard to view her with compassion and I miss her (longest time without contact) but am also relieved to be out of the drama - then feel guilty about feeling relieved. I am so anxious over what her abandonment will mean for her daughters and my relationship with them but also fear what happens if she comes back into their lives.  Would like to connect with anyone who has grandchildren through a BPD child.  Thank you.

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
