[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 84020, member: 1545"] The teens years are very hard on the parental relationship. I personally believe it is hardest between mothers and daughters. Add a personality disorder and a mental illness to the mix and you've got a very rocky road. I'm sure the separation must be very painful for you. Especially given the fact that you don't speak to your own mother. My only advise would be to get some support for yourself. Do you have a therapist? If not ... I would get one. Borderlines are tough cookies to deal with. You would be wise to get some coping techniques ASAP. I do believe (personally) that teens issues are exacerbated by virtue of being teenagers. What I mean is ... that mental illnesses/personality disorders are worse during the teen years. My daughters (very best) therapist once told me that "teen girls are borderline & bipolar just because they are teen girls". My daughter had the same diagnosis as your daughter (minus the ODD) and today she is doing very well. She does not take medication .. and she is functioning at a very normal level. So I do think that kids outgrow some of these issues. I don't think you have lost her forever. Give her some time and space to figure things out. Get yourself some support. Come here often ... its a great place to be. [/QUOTE]
