We don't fit into any above- mentioned categories. My son is 56 yo; I am 76 yo widow. He has come back to live w/me after being removed from an apartment program where he lived for a few yrs. Help! It's horrible. He will be nice and caring for a couple of days & scream & yell & curse at me on the next. He was diagnosed w/schizoaffective disorder. I've been reading abt BPD and some of the traits sound like him. He is totally dependent on me. What do I do at this point in time?

Hi Gardenia16,
Welcome to the community. I'm sorry to hear that having your son at home again has been horrible. I can imagine that the disruptive behavior is very stressful for you.
Why was he removed from the apartment program?

and welcome you to bpdfamily. I'm glad that you have found us there is hope. I'm sorry to hear that your S56 is back home and is giving you a hard time. I'd like to echo

why was he removed from the program if he was in it for a few years? Is he employed? You're not alone.
