[QUOTE="bran155, post: 233049"] Hello and welcome. I can relate to what you are living with, my daughter has Borderline Personality Disorder. Some of the same behaviors. A lot of them actually. It is very hard to live with and heartbreaking as well. Like gcvmom said, detaching is your way to survival. It is very hard. It took me years to be able to detach and it is an everyday struggle. It is a bit easier for me right now as my daughter is in Jail and her craziness is not in front of me. I am very sad that she is there but relieved that she is safe. She was missing for a month!! It is very hard to even have a "normal" conversation with her. Forget about doing "normal" things with her. Everything is a project, nothing comes easy. So, I know that living day to day is mentally exhausting for you. When my daughter is home she is the center of the household. When she walks in the door we have all been invited into a tornado. It's as though we live in the eye of a storm. Everything is pushed to the 10th power!!! Every emotion is greatly exaggerated. It is very hard on the family members as we love this person yet, they are so incredibly hard to be around. I am so sorry for you and your family. Hang in there and God bless. :) [/QUOTE]
