[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 687850, member: 19905"] I know this has been a roller coaster pattern with my daughter for several years: improvement, sometimes huge improvement, for a time and then either a gradual or immediate regression. I cannot tell you how many times my hopes were up amd I would think, "Ok, this time is different. This time she is different. We are past the worst." It was so heartbreaking to watch her crash again and again and again. I never have understood if it was self-sabotage or if she just isn't capable of sustained positive change, if her habits, behaviors, addictions, are just too strong to turn away from. Now that I know her full situation - the drugs and Borderline (BPD) - I at least understand all the rise and fall. And I don't believe there will ever be anything I can do, or anyone else can do, to make her sustain the change. She will have to want it very badly and seek out the appropriate help. It is beyond anything the average person can do, regardless of the amount of love involved. [/QUOTE]
