[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 384048, member: 59"] Jo the therapist we found is very experienced in Borderline (BPD) and DBT which I was thrilled abou, we picked him because of that. And based on his initial session with her I think he will be very proactive with her so I am hoping that she will make those strides that you talk about. In all the years of her previous therpay noone has ever identified or addressed that. In fact looking back they were nothing more than talk sessions where she charmed them all into believing she was doing fine and the whole time. As a matter of fact, her last therapist just about six months ago was alerted to the fact that she was stealing items from stores. When I told her baout it she said "well I guess if that was my daughter I would take them and give them to the goodwill." She never confronted difficult child with that fact or tried to deal with it in any way. She may have found out that difficult child was stealing things to sell for alcohol. So many people have said they see something special in her but I'm beginning to wonder if that's the charming part she wants certain people to see and she saves the cunning part for others. Thanks so much for your ideas. They make me think. Nancy [/QUOTE]
