[QUOTE="Nandina, post: 762032, member: 23742"] Kimsco, welcome. You are in the right place to get some support and help you navigate this very difficult relationship with your daughter. Although I don’t have experience with borderline personality disorder, many others here do and I’m sure someone will be along soon. Things have been a little slow on this board lately but there are many caring people here. I want to assure you first of all that you did not cause this in your daughter and please try not to feel guilty. Most of us understand a mother‘s guilt rearing its ugly head when there are no answers in situations like yours. But let it go. It sounds like you have done everything possible to help your daughter. Many children are raised in single parent homes with a hard-working mother just trying to make ends meet (including myself). It does not cause a child to behave in such destructive ways. I can’t offer much advice other than to say be strong and consistent with your boundaries and don’t enable her. You are right to keep her out of your home if you can’t trust her. The baby on the way complicates matters and makes it harder to detach but there are people here with experience in that realm too who can be more helpful. I just wanted to respond to you and let you know that I feel your pain and hope you will continue to post here. It really helps. Hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
