I did not know about this. I'm just learning about this disorder. I have gone through many years of challenges and believe I have an adult child (undiagnosed) with this disorder.

Hi Daytonagirl, I too would like to welcome you. You have definitely come to the right place to find information about BPD and to get support from fellow members.
Like you I’d never heard of BPD before but once I started to find out more about it I came to realise that my son probably has traits. He is in denial and blames his family for all his problems.
We are here for you Daytonagirl, whenever or if you feel like sharing a little bit more x
