I just joined as I need support and advise regarding my daughter-in-law. We had an argument and she doesn't want my husband and I to visit them and the grandchildren.

Has she been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD)? My adult daughter, age 47, has BPD. I'd be happy to try to answer your questions.

Was she being unreasonable in the argument?
Were you? What were the actions that lead you to think it has to do with Borderline Personality?

Merely having a disagreement does not make someone BPD. But, obviously, there is a great deal more to the story. We don't need the details but the context of the situation would help us greatly in how we are able to offer support. I witnessed the go rounds between my mother and sister-in-law. Even though my SIL was in fact mentally ill the unreasonableness came from both sides. If your daughter-in-law has in fact been diagnosed there are a number of things you might try to do. Most larger communities have support groups and resources for friends and loved ones of the mentally ill. If you can't find such sources of assistance locally, I am sure you can find it from the your national mental health association. It may be worth having a therapy session or two of your own to discuss how this is affecting you. You may, with their help, be able to formulate a plan. Where is your son in this dynamic? Remember too if it comes down to making a choice it is going to likely be with his wife. I am glad you are not fogetting your own needs as this obviously affects your own mental health. Reaching out was a good thing to do for yourself. And finally, if this BPD has in fact been diagnosed do what you can to educate yourself. But please, if this is not a diagnosed situation please do not try to do so yourself. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
