ACCEPTANCE/ Its been awhile

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I have been reading some posts and a few caught my eye. My daughter

has been diagnosed BPD and I was reading about dots child twisting

the truth at school.

At first we thought it was twisting things to and we always got the

blame. I just finished NAMI'S family to family and it was very

helpful for me to learn its not twisting or even against us its

delusional thinking she does not want to say these things they just

come out.

Now she is 18 and thank god we are out of the system the harrasment

by the schools or therepists, so on and so on. Finding help for this

brain disorder is very difficult with out money but I can keep her on

her meds. For anyone that needs to know what she is taking is

lithium,abilify and buspar which does nothing for her anxity most of

the self abuse has stopped but not all together but she does what she

is told she still acts like a two year old the whining and crying but

I have learned just to ignore that and just get it done I tell her.

My husband has also not accepated that our daughter may never be

able to leave our home we still fight about it all the time we have

been married 20 years and I hope it can with hold this storm. I love

my daughter with all my heart she is very quite and shows no violence

towrad others only to her self and that is was scares me the most. I

have friends in my Nami group that there childern have never

recovered from what ever ales them and their chidren are still

excisting at home and some have ended it all and thats the eand of

the road I never want to come to.

bless you all
