[QUOTE="Second Time Around, post: 660735, member: 18739"] Lioness, It will be so freeing if you can accept that she has an illness and not expect her to treat you well - borderline is a pretty serious illness and very difficult to treat. The person has to WANT treatment and do a lot of work in therapy. Most people with borderline don't think there is anything wrong with themselves - it's everyone else who is the problem. So it's very likely that your daughter will always be this way. It may be genetic since you said that your parents did not parent you well. I think the best you can do is try not to get into arguments with your daughter. Don't respond if she tries to make you feel bad, just let it go. The hard part will be your granddaughter. Your daughter may try to use access to your granddaughter as a weapon against you. If she does, there isn't anything you can do unless she's physically abusing her and you can get custody. You may have to let go of seeing your granddaughter much and send her love from a distance. Much love to you! [/QUOTE]
