Blaze,
Thank you for taking the time to respond . It takes a lot of courage to face this illness and share your journey with others you do not know. I appreciate your candor in with your response.
Your insights will be helpful to myself and I will share your thoughts and information with this young girls mother. Just to be clear ,I am not married to this young lady's, mother however ,I can assure you this illness would not scare me off. Good information builds knowledge which brings understanding and patience. Thank you.
I want you to know that your sharing will help me learn patience and insight ,what a great asset that will be!
Yes this dugther has exhibited some of your mentioned behaviors and I can see the possibilitis of abondonment issues: as the Mom and Dad were divorced before I met her mom. there may have been sibling sexual abuse issues as well.
I will keep you posted as to further developments as time goes by.
Regarding your history : It seems as though you have had more than a fair share of trials and emptiness . It is wonderful that you have a supportive husband in your life see ," the Man Upstairs" does look after us.
I wish you peace and quiet happy moments and with your husband as well .
Be strong and courageous in your journey with this disorder.
You are a winner !!!

Thanks for your encourgment and it sounds like all will work out for you and your girlfriend and daughter. Just get her the help she needs. From what i have read. the right therapist is very important for a BPD person. They are hard to deal with even in counseling and some get dropped from there counselors. Make sure the counselor can take a BPD person on and has the experience with them. I was abused also if i didnt mention that by my cousin and i didnt think that it effected me but it did after i got married. i was diagnosed with Bpd in may of this year. Bi polar for seven years and major deprssion who knows how long i have had that. any way i hope things works out for you since you sound like a very caring individual. I feel bad for the girl... its hard enough as an adult to deal with it but a teenager starting out with it. My heart goes out.... hang in there.
