[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 384012, member: 1872"] Nancy I'm glad you posted this. I have been thinking about you and your daughter since you wrote that her therapist said she was cunning and charming. When I read that I got a chill. I know what that's like in both my kids. It's dangerous because even though I try to maintain a healthy detachment and am suspicious of most of their charming behaviors, that charming stuff makes me want to run screaming from the room in fear. I was thinking and worrying about the Borderline (BPD) part too -- until the person with Borderline (BPD) starts to acquire tools for living, she doesn't have a core self to interact with the environment. But I think she can make some fairly rapid strides with the Borderline (BPD), especially with the DBT which will give her skills to verbalize those powerful emotions, and also to demystify those powerful emotions and make them do-able. Both my kids need to learn DBT -- our home-based case manager just mentioned it. Will the Borderline (BPD) be addressed along with her recovery plan? Can she read any books about Borderline (BPD) that are written by someone with Borderline (BPD) who understands what it's like, or get in a support group? Just some thoughts -- I don't even know if those are healthy ideas, or if she may be overwhelmed. Is there any info on the internet about recovery with Borderline (BPD) in the picture? She can't be the first. I can't forget the staff said they saw something special in her, that wasn't cunning or charming. That was hopeful. And many of her choices in rehab showed a lot of potential -- choices that were hard, and had to be made from a least some sort of an inner core. JO [/QUOTE]
