BRAVO, musikcrazy!!! i had read your previous posts and i am so glad you took the courage and told your mom. the part i don't get is why wouldn't a parent be happy their kid got help??!!!??? this fear of mental disorders always baffles me. i'm glad she is being a little more receptive after this initial post. it's not about her, it's about YOU!! you did a brave thing by getting the help you need. i know you struggled with this. i care and believe you did the best thing you could do. even if your mom doesn't understand much about bpd, give her some info to read about it. also how the meds work. information is powerful and maybe she won't be so whatever once she understands for real what is bpd and ways to have a fulfilling life on meds if need be.
