Hi
This is my first post. My 30 year old adult daughter with bpd has just gone no contact. I am devastated. She has gone from phoning me literally every day to this.
I think I am to blame for this last row - I was very clingy with my husband and had a row with him and my daughter came in the middle. But usually I don't think I do provoke these rows. In any case I am happy to put my hand up to anything I am doing wrong in the situation.
I miss her horribly but at the same time don't miss the volatility.

Hi!  I am terribly sorry to hear your news!  Short version, my daughter (referred to as pwBPD) cut ties with me, her father, her sister & her beautiful nieces 3 years ago....she texts when she needs something; I know it is the WORST feeling in the world; especially during the holidays (her birthday was the worst, the first year....I could not get out of bed, I was so sad) (I am tearing up typing it) I now see a therapist who specializes in parents of children/adult children with BPD & am learning how to accept feeling JOY (it seemed unnatural, as I am always sad about my daughter!) feel free to reach out, if you like!
