[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 166462, member: 1157"] The book is "Stop Walking on Eggshells." It is excellent, and I higly recommend it to anyone who has a family member who is borderline. My Oldest is borderline. I wish I could give you some positive feedback.. but she was kicked out of my house at 19, after her violent tendencies increased. She is now 24, jumps from job to job, living place to living place, man to man. The lies continue, I don't know what to believe any more. She ocasionally admits herself, and gets medications and help, but never follows through with outpatient care. I, too, recently read that sometimes borderlines settle down later in life.. so I have hope, but it seems very distant at the moment. I will say that she is very resilient, and a survivor ... she manages somehow, even though she leaves a trail of drama behind her (and around her and in front of her). Tough love is the only thing that keeps me semi-sane, that and journaling about it. I know I cannot live with her, and need to watch my boundaries carefully. Check with your local mental health department about support groups for families of the mentally ill. Visit here. Read as much as you can. Detach as much as you can . Love her, and pray for her. Many hugs. [/QUOTE]
