[QUOTE="strangeworld, post: 757343, member: 22313"] I guess the reason for my comment about her feeling anandoned is because that is the crux of the Borderline disorder. And the way they treat it is with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy which focuses of validating feelings whether substantiated in reality or drafted out of warped perception. While she has not been diagnosed officially, every single symptpm she has. So i feel like if I disengage from her life it might make the situation worse. The last thing I want to do is make her worse. But honestly, this is the only thing I can do right now that makes sense. If she has Borderline (BPD) it can't be treated correctly if she's high or drunk. And I can't have a drunken belligerent person in my home The weight has started lifting but every so often I feel grief seeping in. I know this is normal. The PTSD that ignites when she texts is something I hope will fade in time. The longer I live the more I realize nothing is permanent. Even if things start getting better, there are no guarantees they will continue for ever. I think when we are young we think there is a point when all will be stable and we work toward that. Then the older I get I realize that point does not exist and we really only have this bumpy path that takes us to places good and bad. If I could learn to accept that things change for the better and worse all throughout life maybe I could find peace. Again thank you all. I really take in your guidance and support sometimes reading your replies over and over. The wisdom here is very helpful and calming for me. Prayers for all of our children struggling. And us.
