Hi @Blackhen
A very warm welcome to the forum. Sorry to read about your estranged relations with your daughter. I am also estranged from my children of my first marriage due to an ex poisoning them against me (long story). But currently happily married with a 22 year old daughter from that marriage who also have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and amongst others.
Here if you want to talk about it 😊
