[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 582038, member: 84"] Welcome to the board. :) Those with Borderline can get better with proper treatment. IF they can acknowledge they have issues with the perception of reality/relationships and they truly want to get better. My daughter Nichole has been stable for several years now and is doing quite well with no signs of her borderline behaviors surfacing. She worked very hard to get there. The one thing I did find that worked was that with Nichole I refused to walk on egg shells. If she got mad, too bad. I flat out refused to play into the borderline behaviors, regardless of what she did to attempt to get me to do so. There were times when I ignored behavior because I knew it was related to her disorder, in other words.......she just couldn't get a rise out of me. Once she was calm, then we'd talk. Attempting to do so otherwise did no good, it usually just blew it up into a much worse situation. I don't know if schizophrenia was considered or not. Your description sort of reminds me of my mom who is schizo. While Nichole's reality was sometimes skewed a bit, my mom's didn't match events at all. While you could sit down and untangle Nichole's view of a certain event, you cant do that with my mom because hers is not even remotely close to what actually happened. So I bring it up not to scare you but to suggest you might want to read up on it and see if it fits or not. Having an accurate diagnosis means a more successful treatment. You've landed in a great place for support. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
