[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 687663, member: 20051"] I think it's a lot like getting divorced. When the relationship is 1st on the rocks you fight and struggle and try to make it right. When you realize all your struggle isn't working you are hurt and sad and depressed. When you finally do separate you are angry. Then you just accept that the relationship is and was broken and you move on. You don't hate them and wish them any ill will, but you don't love them either. I think in the grand scheme of things that we can only take so much, and many of us reach a point in time where we come to the realization that no matter what we do that this is just who they are and nothing will change that. I am very much like that with my sister, and she was never nasty or mean, but just refuses to even try to get her life together. I've reached the point where I have just accepted that she is who she is and that is who she always will be. ...and, honestly, from what I understand about Borderline (BPD), your relationship with your daughter is probably what is best for all involved.
