Hi,

I just wanted to introduce myself. My odlest dauther, is 20. She has BPD and is living with me. She has been in treatment and therapy in the past. I participated in half of the BPD Family Connections class last year. My youngest daugher is 14 and lives with her Father because she doesn't want to live with her sister and the emotional dysregulation.

In January my daughter was fired from her job for oversleeping and then her boyfriend brokeup with her.  She has been in bed watching TV, isolating for about a month. I am working with a therapist myself as I am just so sad and lonely as I try to support my daughter. And, on other days, I'm so mad I just want my daughter to move out!

I've been lurking on this board off and on for awhile now.  I know I need some support and that's why I 'm posting.

Thanks,
Tagworth
