If you have a daughter with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you may feel frustration, shame, and your family may be at the breaking point dealing with angry outbursts, threats, and constant emergencies. You may even feel guilty for not enjoying spending time with your child—but how can you when her behavior is abusive toward you and the rest of your family? You need solid skills you can use now to help your daughter and hold your family together.

In this important guide, you’ll learn real solutions and strategies based in proven-effective DBT and CBT to help you weather the storm of BPD and restore a sense of normalcy and balance in your life.

You’ll discover how you can help your daughter get the help she needs while also setting boundaries that foster respect and self-care for you and others in your family. And, most importantly, you’ll learn “emergency parenting techniques” to help you put a stop to abusive patterns and restore peace.

If your daughter has BPD and your family is struggling to make it through each day, this book offers essential skills to help you cope and recover a sense of stability.

Disgusting! Non supportive to the supposed loved one, that has this disorder. I can see why someone in your family, most likely a child or other close fam member, has this disorder... With you as their family member and or parent, your almost total selfishness to their suffering, is beyond remarkable. Being in the psychological field, I will write a few emails to heads of AMA, APA, and psychological think tanks, to make them highly aware of this sad writing. Honestly with what I read here, you will only succeed in abandoning your family member further.
