Hello Smalls

I would like to welcome you here where you will find lots of help and support.

I hope you don’t mind me asking you a few questions.

You say that your child refuses to get help, has your child been diagnosed, and if so, does your child accept the diagnosis? How old is your child?

Here is a link that you might find useful - Getting a Borderline into therapy:

Hi Smalls,

Welcome

I'd like to join Feeling Better in welcoming you to the community.

It can be so difficult to watch a loved one suffer, and refuse to get support. I'm glad you reached out here, because members understand what you are going through.

What behaviors are causing the most stress right now?

Do you have a good support system for yourself?

When you can, let us know what is happening in your world. We're here to listen and support you.

Hi, Smalls.  Welcome!

I can relate to how frustrating it feels to want to help someone who isn't easily helped. 

How old is your child?  What have you tried so far?
