I’m new here. I just found out about the site. I have an adult child with BPD who I am trying to stop being a co-dependent with. I need support and ideas of how to do this lovingly.

A lot of parents struggle similarly,  so welcome 

How do you judge yourself codependent with her?

Hi Phoenix and welcome to the site!  I am glad you found us though sorry for the circumstances that brought you here.  As Turkish said, many of our parents and others members struggle with co-dependency. 

I hope you feel comfortable to read and post in other threads and also check out the articles listed over on the right side of the page.  We have Lessons and Tools which can help you greatly in your goal.

Take care.

Hello Phoenix500

I would like to join Turkish and Harri in welcoming you here 

You are very wise in recognising that you could be in a codependent relationship with your BPD adult child. Here is a link about codependency, just click on it and it will take you to the article:

Codependency and Codependent Relationships

I would love to hear your thoughts x
