Hi Spuddiesmom:Sorry your son has BPD. Interesting that your nephew has it as well. Do you think genetics is in play?
I set more serious boundaries than I had set before and he was very angry at me.
What are a few of the boundaries he became angry with?
I read and educate myself as much as I can but I need support form those in the same situation.
Is there something in particular going on at the moment?
If you go to the large green band, at the top of the page, you will find a "Tools" menu. You will find a link there to "Workshops". You can go shopping within the Workshops & find helpful tutorials. The only one you can manage is yourself. By using certain strategies and communication skills, it can help make things better for you.
He got help last year and also was slowing phased off the med he took, but is not on meds or seeing therapist now. My son doesn’t want to get on meds or get therapy and I am waiting for a bad cycle to arise. I am scared and worried.
You indicate that he was diagnosed in his early 20's. Did he have DBT therapy? Has he been on meds prior to his more recent course of treatment? Was there a reason to go off the meds?
