Where is help?

[Ilyse]

I have a 25 year old daughter who is diagnosed with BPD.  She  has suicidal thoughts and substance use disorder.  I am looking for help and suggestions on how to communicate with my daughter in a positive manner.
Thank you for your consideration and future suggestions.

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

Hello and welcome, Ilyse,

    You’ll find several sources of information, here, that helps us have our best communications with our BPD children.
    Ours is an adult son, currently in his 2nd estrangement from us. It sure does feel like a land-mined path, at times - not knowing what will be read into, for perceived offenses, doesn’t it?
