[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 692434, member: 13882"] Garden Girl, The reason I asked whether he was adopted and if he displays verbal abuse when stressed, is that my adopted son, age 22 as well, was diagnosis'd with a personality disorder called Borderline Personality Disorder. It's hard to treat because people with that disorder often think they are not the ones who need the help; it's everyone else. There's currently no medication that I am aware of that is prescribed for this. People with-Borderline (BPD) are very challenging to live with. When extremely frustrated he can exhibit suicidal ideation. Oddly, my son also for the past 5 or 6 years has developed very specific eating habits (no milk, no meat or fowl, organic everything, lots of juices and shakes) and a rigorous exercise routine. Odd coincidence. My son is very narcissistic and body-conscious. After he has outbursts, he is usually sorry and tries to reconcile, but he has lost 2 very lovely girlfriends and a few very promising jobs as well, he has even quit school for a time. Quite honestly, he is too "high maintenance" for us to all live under the same roof. Situations and certain people, even holidays like Christmas can be a trigger. There's no medication, and often they do not think therapy will help them, so in your son's case, since he recognizes a desire to change, that may be a very good thing. A full evaluation to determine precisely what is going on with him would be ideal. It's not easy, is it? [/QUOTE]
