Wow! I am rooting for you guys every step of the way!

Elaine, your boundaries sound great! Jean, may God

give me the wisdom and humor to accept things the way

you do!

PJ, about that kid who broke up your puzzle. When my

kids were small, a child of a friend (about 5 at the

time, and there were a lot of weird things going on in

that family, too) deliberately and viciously broke

something in our home. I remember it distinctly, and

I remember thinking he had a tough life ahead of him.

Sure enough, he was arrested for robbery at the age of

16 -- on the campus of the school where his father

worked. There is a lot of anger and lack of control

behind that sort of behavior. I'm sorry for your

puzzle, but I hope someone wakes up to that little

boy's problems. He's obviously screaming for help.

My daughter has been home for a few weeks now. She's

calmed down, but also starting to feel antsy. She

wants to get moving and get better, but she's still

fighting the demons in her head, I can tell. It

reminds me of a baby almost. They can be sunny and

pleasant during the day, but get tired and cranky by

dinner time -- you just want to keep them on an even

keel until bed time. Things are starting to get

moving after the New Year and we're looking for a

therapist who can specifically address bpd and also a

doctor who can give us the right medication to give

her some mental balance to work from.
