Hello, first post here and pretty much any other forum! I found this website while searching for any information on BPD and I am so relieved! I have read many posts and checked out the resources here and finally feel like I'm not alone. I have come to the realization that I have been trying to manage my relationship with my adult child who I suspect has uBPD for at least 10 years. I have resorted to having NC for a while in the hope that they will agree to therapy. I have tried to do and say everything I can possibly think of to help them, and am sad to see many of these on the "What not to do" page of the Toolbox  :sadno:
I am just exhausted in general and have had to have some distance for my own mental health. I have a therapist who I trust fortunately, and am working through the FOG, probably on a daily basis with the support of my SO and trusted family and friends.
I am hopeful that we will be able to have a healthy relationship in the near future as we are very close. I'm looking forward to reading more of your stories and connecting through this very helpful forum.

Welcome! You have found a good place. It's particularly hard when the PD in your life is your child. I found that it was best for me to work on my own mental health.
See you around on the boards!
I can't hate my way into loving myself.

Thank you both, it is certainly reassuring to know that this type of support exists! I know it may be a long road to recovery but there is so much love and a lot of hope!
