I too have a daughter with BPD- OMG ITS HORRENDOUS, can you offer any dvice of where you got assistance and help? Apart from taking her to the hospital twice when she was haing major episodes I have found no one who has any patience with her and her condition- we have no support what so ever and this is so so so difficult, I seem to be the only one trying to remain constant for her but I have melt downs trying to reason with her- WHICH NEVER WORKS- Ireally want her to live independently but she can't even complete a centrlink interview to get a pension so now I am trying to financially support her as well GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR- I'm sure you fully understand where I'm coming from can you offer any advice or helpful techniques?

Yes the promiscuity is a major issue. My daughter is 36 years old and has a 13 year old son as a single parent. She just recently had a miscarriage to a casual acquantance. I had a major meltdown recently and somehow have found her a little easier to deal with since however it is a rollercoaster ride. I ensure that I do not judge her and support her as much as I can given I am now 63 and getting less tolerant of the ride. I constantly reassure her and try to build her self esteem as well as having my grandson as much as I can to keep him stable. I sometimes make myself unavailable by phone as my cup can get empty very quickly and when she is on a downward spiral I keep telling her that she needs to make an appointment with her pyschologist. She does eventually listen and seeks an appointment with a very professional and aware person who steers her in the right direction. My goal is to keep making sure that I am okay as I am not good for her if I am not in good shape. This is the challenge always. I hope this helps but as parents of our children with BPD it is a constant juggling act with some respite when they are travelling okay.
