[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 574947, member: 1967"] As I posted in another thread, husband and I have started on a 12-week NAMI Family to Family course to help us learn about difficult child's issues and resources available to help us. About six months ago, I had found a really great website on Borderline Personality Disorder that had similar class specifically for families of loved ones with Borderline (BPD). I sent an email saying that I would be interested in participating in the class if they had one in the Atlanta area. Well, I didn't hear anything from them for six months and truthfully forgot all about it. Wouldn't you know . . . I got a call yesterday saying that they were starting an eight week class on Saturdays and wanted to know if we were interested. I almost told them no since we were already attending the NAMI classes on Sundays but decided this was good timing since difficult child was in the treatment center and we would need support as it came closer to her release. One of the things this class does is teaches you how to communicate with someone with Borderline (BPD). I would say that is one our major issues along with being able to set boundaries. Again, the timing couldn't be better. So we will be spending our next two months going to mental health classes. Either it will be very helpful or it will drive me crazy, too. LOL Wish us luck. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
