Wow! Thanks for all of your support!

[Guest guest]

Thank you for all of your responses! It truly does help to know

that you are not alone. As I venture into this new part of my life

with my daughter, (she's now 18 and an " adult " ), I am prepared to

love her and guide her, but not be drawn into the constant, daily

drama of her life.

* I would appreciate any advice or helpful hints that anyone has

about setting boundries with their adult children.

* Has anyone found any success with a DBT program and their adult

children with BPD?

* How do you cope with knowing that your child without help will

probably continue very distructive behaviors through out their

life?

Thanks again.

By trial and error, I came to a few " successful " conclusions for myself

with my BPD adult daughter:

I never loan her money, however, I will and do give her money

sometimes.

I stay in contact, but keep the contacts short, usually with just the

two of us.

I do 98% listening, and reflecting. v
