[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 196436"] Katya, All we can ever do is the best with what we know and the resources we have. You wouldn't expect more from anyone else, so don't expect it from yourself. Life with a difficult child is an ever-evolving "learning on the job" experience. I know you're worried about where he would go should he find himself evicted. There are places such as the YMCA and Salvation Army shelters. You may want to check out where in your community these places are so you can hand the addresses to difficult child should the need arise. I spent a few days in the psychiatric hospital myself several years ago due to a psychotic depression and there was a girl there with Borderline (BPD) who lived in some kind of half-way house or supported living type facility. You may check into the program that difficult child is in - since they offer the dual diagnosis treatment, including DBT - and see if they know of any such places. Many (but, by no means all) people with Borderline (BPD) aren't able to function on their own until they get better (hopefully) with treatment. Just good information to have ahead of time. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
