[QUOTE="Blindsided, post: 753586, member: 23811"] So, you think her cutting is your fault for leaving? If we can find blame, maybe we can change it? Been there, done that. Truth is we dont know their feelings or have the ability to change them. Can you communicate logically? My daughter has had body dysmorphia since her teenage years. I suspect she now is bolemic, which in addition to alcohol is destroying her body. She looked for love from men in all the wrong places. She is abusive. Now, she lacks empathy. She has every trait of Borderline (BPD), but she wont get help. I read a lot about how that diagnosis is missed or confused with bipolar. They are treated differently. I have also learned that DBT shows promise. We cant diagnose, but I can say this - I can only change the way I react to my daughters behaviors, my daughter must be handled with objectivity, not emotions, and that knowledge is handy in all my relationships. I am so sorry. This must be horrific for you. All I can add is to revisit the article on detachment that has helped me. I read the article on a regular basis. Love and light. [/QUOTE]
