[QUOTE="GardenGirl, post: 692461, member: 20483"] Heavens no, it's not easy. My son is always very contrite after the outbursts. He's says he's sorry and feels guilty. He feels especially guilty because he knows how hard I work for everything we have. Today he tells me that the damage wouldn't have happened if he had a punching bag to hit instead. I don't even know what to think about that statement. He went to counseling today and said it wasn't encouraging. I feel so deflated. My husband says he wants him to get an apartment immediately but I don't feel that's a good idea. I don't think he needs to be trying to navigate life on his own right now. I looked up the Borderline (BPD) and he seems to have many of the symptoms. I am going to continue researching that. My son sounds very similar to yours. Especially with the specific eating habits (protein shakes, organic only, juiced kale, gluten free, etc) and exercise routines. Is your son on medications now and is he able to hold down a job or go to school? For the first time, I am beginning to wonder if my son will ever be truly self sufficient and happy. [/QUOTE]
