My younger cousin is 19 years old and newly diagnosed. Her parents have put her out due to their inability to handle her manic episodes ( I think I said that right) and pure selfishness. She has been in and out of group homes since she was a minor, she used to run away from home a lot and she was somewhat promiscuous each time.

Recently she got her own apartment and discovered she is pregnant. The father wants nothing to do with her, her parents have turned their backs on her, her grandparents adored her but they've recently passed away and she is being stalked by a violent former boyfriend - he is not her child's father.

I will be visiting my hometown for a week and I want to help her. I love her and I feel that she's been put of to pasture by family do to their ignorance and mental illness stigma. I suffer from anxiety and depression and have for years so I know a little bit about what she might be going through but based on my reading I need to learn more.

Are there support groups for pregnant women with BPD?

Is it possible for her to have a sponsor?

She has no local person to turn to, are there ant good orgs that can assist her?
