[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 195233, member: 1514"] Is your son in therapy besides the addiction stuff? If he is borderline he desperately needs to be seeing a therapist for his borderline. He probably also needs to be on medications for that as well. I didnt check your signature to see if he is on medications so he may be. Borderline is a really strange disorder. I hate that name personally. From what I have been told the name is most likely going to be changed soon and it is going to go from an Axis 2 to an Axis 1 diagnosis. I think its going to be called Emotional Disregulation Disorder. That really makes much more sense because for borderlines its not that our personalities are broken or on the "border" but that we cant regulate our emotions. We really dont know what emotions are! Manipulation and fear of abandonment do play a huge part in there. If you cant figure out your own emotions, your world is pretty weird. However, this is nothing a layperson can deal with. Families cant be held hostage to the borderline. If your son isnt seeking therapy, then please seek therapy for yourself to help you learn how to deal with him. There are also websites for families of people with Borderline (BPD). If you want them let me know. [/QUOTE]
