[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 687388, member: 1550"] Walrus, her diagnosis makes her vulnerable to doing self destructive things. Just like other people seem to shun drama and dont like it. Your daughter can get help. in my opinion it matters that she has a label because, although knowing what it is wont change anything, first of all YOU can learn what to expect and there are books out there to help you deal with this disorder,much as there are books out to help you with a family member who has cancer. There are practices that work best for certain problems. More importantly there is very specific and helpful treatment for borderline. Regular therapy doesnt normally work. Your daughter can go to a type of therapy known to help others with her issues. You never know. SHE MiGHT. Treating a broken arm by casting a leg doesnt work. I tend to be rather logical, feeling that it helps more in the medical world than emotion, so I try to diissect problems and share the best info I know of. I've been mentally ill all my life and one way I dealt with it was to learn about different illnesses and share what I learned and people can take what they like and leave the rest. Maybe one person will be helped...ya know? I hope I helped a little. Did not mean to be harsh. Walrus, you seem so nice and my own soft heart, which is hidden behind my logical mind, wishes you everything good in life and the ability to learn how to maybe communicate with your daughter, if you want, in a way that works best for parents of borderlines. Trust me, you are NOT alone. Many mothers have met borderline. You have all the best vibes from me. Your particular situation is unique, like nobody elses here. Do what is best for you and know we are all holding your hand. Whatever you do is ok with us. We all took our own paths and so may you, sweet mother. [/QUOTE]
