[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 397659, member: 1872"] Nancy, I too offer a hand in friendship and support. I like DDD's advice to fall back and regroup. Pounding on the garage etc. sounds like your daughter is creating as much chaos as she can, hoping you will break. She is fighting for her addiction. Don't break. Some of the stuff sounds like borderline traits -- extreme impulsivity, labile emotions (especially like banging on the door). Maybe review some of your borderline information to give you more insight, because a borderline person who doesn't have any skills yet, can really create some horrific situations, but the underlying reasons are different, and you might not feel so terrified if you can sort it out a little. Jo P.S. You're helping her to recover (from both Borderline (BPD) and addiction) by holding firm. The pain I'm sure is excruciating, especially when you have triggers from your own family to relive. "Grief is the purest pain you'll ever know." But you can make it. It's the only way for your daughter to have any chance. She could be on the verge of recovery at this minute, or it could take years, or maybe never. We just don't know. [/QUOTE]
