Introduction

[4theloveofdingy]

Hello all: Over the past year I have learned that my teenage daughter has BPD characteristics.  Her therapist has told me she is higher functioning then some who have BPD.
My daughter was away for the last year at school to work on herself, gain control of her life and divert her from very risky behavior.

This has helped immensely and she is now home as a high school graduate who is starting college this summer.  She is 18 and living with me till she has some money saved up. 
She knows how to push my buttons and turn everything into my fault or her making her feel guilty.  I am learning very slowly how to handle these outbursts or situations but it is always nice to have others to chat with.

I am here looking for support and the familiar what would you do in a situation type of conversation.

Thank You
