[QUOTE="Simion, post: 762240, member: 29037"] I feel for you. You have married into a family that was suffering the effects of mental health issues before you. You didn’t mention your step daughters age. One thing that stood out is that there appears to be no boundaries or accountability for this young girls actions / behaviors. You share of young girl who is hurting, and symptoms of a personality disorder. Living with one who has a personality disorder is very difficult for the entire family. My daughter is diagnosed with Boderline Personality Disorder but shows signs of narcissism. For myself and my family I had to set boundaries as to what was acceptable & not acceptable in our home & what the consequence would be if these weren’t upheld. When my daughter was younger her rage went to physical violence in no time. Any physical violence would not be tolerated and the police would be called. Sharing how one feels, regardless of its validity or anyones agreement or option if shared in an acceptable manner was encouraged. Screaming and swearing , mentally & emotionally abusing another family member would not be tolerated. The consequences depended on the one who was behaving unacceptable & what would make sense for them. . The one must: each family member living in the home had to be in therapy. Mental illness is a family illness. The day came when I had to act on those boundaries in the toughest way & tell my daughter she could no longer live in my home. I will not allow anyone to abuse me & certainly not my own child. You have taken that first step reaching out & sharing so honestly. [/QUOTE]
