[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 595484, member: 15801"] Janet, I definitely dont think Borderline Personality disorder is the answer to all the wrongs in the world... the reason I think my son is more likely Borderline Personality is because I do believe he has some empathy.... which means he does not really fit into the sociopathic personality...... I know many many years ago when I was in social work school Borderline was where they put anyone that was difficult that they didnt like.... but it seems for the little reading I have done that a lot of research has been done and a lot of progress has been made in understanding it. Also my thought that my son has a personality disorder did not come out of the blue or out of my own head. It was actually first suggested to me a couple of years ago when he was in a very well known psychiatric hospital because he was suicidal. And the personality disorder they suggested was Borderline (BPD)..... and I was bowled over because I had never considered it. I dont think in his case it is just because he is a jerk.... although he certainl is that a lot of the time. I think his whole history which includes a lot of very self destructive behavior and serious self sabatoging point to it just not being on the normal but jerky spectrum. I think my difficult child as well as Nancy, PGs, and Kathy's difficult child have all shown a lot of resistance to substance abuse treatment along with very self destructive patterns that point to serious mental health issues along with substance abuse... and it is so darned hard to figure out how to treat both issues. *TL [/QUOTE]
