Hi, I just learned about BPD and my 18 year old daughter identifies with the traits and characteristics.  She is finding relief that there's an explanation to her intense emotions and dark thoughts.  The more I learn, the more I also see my husband in the characteristics.  No wonder my house has been in chaos for so long!
Help!

Hi 1591

 Hi!

Welcome to the family and greetings to you  Smiling (click to insert in post) It's wonderful to hear your daughter is finding relief, my daughter found relief too, to know that they are not alone and that there are people who care and understand what they are going through and are there to support them. You are not alone either, parents are here for you, that's what a support group is all about.    Have you and your daughter thought what the next step is for her? How can we support and help you?

As well as the son/daughter board we have the Relationship Bettering board you may find helpful visiting as you mention you also see traits in your husband.

Your daughter has intense emotions and dark thoughts, is there anything else she's struggling with?

Welcome again, I'm glad you found us.
