[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 254709"] From what I have studied about this disorder and after watching a friend (for MANY years) whose daughter has this disorder, it is something that requires patience and expertise. Was so happy to read GG's post re: the I[U] hate You : Don't Leave Me[/U] book. My friend got much help from this book. Another book she talks about a lot is called: [U]Stop Walking on Eggshells: Taking YOur Life Back When Someone You Care About Has Borderline Personality Disorder[/U] (Mason/Kreger). What she had to do was educate herself significantly about these things. Many therapists are not familiar with this disorder or are uncomfortable with it. Her adult daughter has good months and bad months. At this point she (mom) is not all that involved with her life. She provides contact numbers for her if she needs a resource. Mom gives her holiday presents. They often get together for the holidays. They talk now and again on the phone. They are friendly. It's not great...but not terrible. Mom hopes it will get better...but doesn't anguish over it. Her adult daughter continues to make poor choices. She attempts to manipulate mom less and less. Mom has clearly taken her own life back. What she did (mom) was educate herself and engage in a lot of self nurturing behaviors...spiritual and so forth. She did therapy for awhile and read nurturing materials. Went to church more often...called her friends more often...rested more. She found making difficult decisions with her child potentially very draining. Good decisions...confusing and draining. She needed her strength. There are moments that she is very tired. However, she has built up a little "force field" of sorts. Again...she has moved on. She is happy. [/QUOTE]
