[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 741793, member: 23349"] Once they are adults there is very little we can do. My daughter is not on medications and is self medicating with booze, marijuana, and cocaine - and who knows what else. Last I heard she was living with a cocaine dealer. I tried so hard to get her treatment when she was younger but she just walked away from all of it once she turned 18. She’s never lived a stable life and it’s looking like she never will. I don’t know what else to do but let go. It is so hard - we have zero control over their choices, no right to any medical information even when they are reaching out to us for help. At least your daughter has some self awareness and is treatment compliant. Has she tried DBT? I’ve read it’s the only form of therapy effective for Borderline (BPD). I wish I could get S in some form of therapy but I that’s not going to happen anytime soon. :( I hope you are able to find some peace and take care of your own needs right now. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
