Just got the diagnosis and beating myself up because I missed all the signs -- since childhood. He is 18 and graduated HS. My heart just breaks for him

Krystyn -
I'm sorry that you're going through this. My DW and I just researched a ton of places for my BPDD, also 18. She is currently in one.
As far as beating yourself up, for sure, I am in touch with that emotion... .we didn't recognize the signs either. I stopped beating myself after I finally asked myself whether I was qualified to even look for the signs in the first place (spoiler alert: I wasn't.)
All of the signs in my DD case were obvious in hindsight, but heck, I didn't even know what half of them were called before I saw a definition and a word.
We did online research for long term (90 days or more) residential treatment facility, found about 20, whittled them down to 4-5 from online research, and called them.
We found that one stood out, and she's there now.

Although this is a female-only place.
