[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 195166, member: 1545"] One of the most pronounced symptoms for borderlines is their (real or perceived) fear of abandonment. He is obviously terrified to be on his own. I think Adrienne makes some very good suggestions. This situation doesn't have to be so entirely black (stay home) or white (eviction). Begin a plan TODAY in which you and husband will provide son with a step down toward complete independence. Find him an affordable room in a boarding house. Make him a part of his own solution. Show him how to problem solve. Bottom line - if you think he is serious about the suicide plan - I would petition him for care. Suicide rates are very high among Borderline (BPD)'s. Best of luck.
