[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 579203, member: 15801"] Keep sharing Kathy this is really interesting. Did they talk at all about men who have Borderline (BPD) (or emotional dysregulation disorder which I also like much better)? Years and years ago when I was in graduate school we learned about Borderline (BPD) and fo course then it was kind of the dump all diagnosis for patients people had trouble with!!! When the question came up about my son I was shocked because he didnt fit at all what I remembered.... but then i went and read some of the more current literatire and it fits him very very well... And your description of your daughter fits my son as well... he is very impulsive, very in the moment, is a lot of fun (when he is sober at least). I however am not organized but tend to be somewhat spontaneous and somewhat like my son but I do not have his level of impulsivity and i do tend to things through (sometimes too much). One of the things I have heard about Borderline (BPD) is that it is a result of trauma... did they say anything about that at NAMI? I do think adoption is a traumatic event for a baby or young child (or older one for sure). I think many folks (especially those who have no experience with adoption) discount that part of the issue a lot. So I have wondered if that also plays into why so many more adoptees have these kinds of issues. TL [/QUOTE]
