I’m feeling really frightened and relieved all at the same, and I seem to have some answers as to why my Daughter age 23, thinks so differently to me.  Last week we had our first visit to a physiatrist, who suggested that my D May have Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder, I believe is the same as BPD and since then I’ve been researching like mad, and I have to say I’ll be very surprised if the suggestion is not correct.  She ticks a majority of the boxes. 

I’m looking for advice on communication.  I’m afraid of saying the wrong thing.  I’m trying to be supportive and understanding but at the same time feel I should not condone inappropriate behaviour or remarks and should be able to express my emotions if I’m upset with her. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you

Hello Bluebird
I am happy to meet you and sad for what brings you here. You are in exactly the right place to get help understanding your (most likely) BPD daughter and improving your relationship with her. We are all learning together here. There is a wealth of clinically responsible information on this site. Perhaps the best place to start would be by clicking the link at the top of the page that says "how to get the most out of this site." If you are comfortable please tell us more about your daughter and her behavior. What is most concerning about it? What would you like help with today? We are all here for you.
