Thankyou for your replies. I am starting the NEABPD Family Connections course in February and it cant come soon enough. Just to be with other family members with loved ones of this disorder. I'm feeling very stressed right now as the psych unit she is in are treating her for her ED and in denial about the dangerous borderline behaviours wanting her to home visit for sleepover tonight. My daughter threatened my son and myself and verbally abused me in my call to her last night and my trauma symptoms of being the target of her bpd rage are starting to activate. I tried to explain to her case manager yesterday, but she shut me down and seems unable to acknowledge that my daughter isn't even displaying stable behaviour inside the unit, how is it safe for her to come with me. I also have my teenage son with me fulltime and my daughter will target him or our pets in order to relieve her pain. My social worker on holidays and I'm feeling unheard by the case manager. I am going to try again today to explain our situation. If she shuts me down again, I will phone the referring doctor from our local Emergency Department and also ask for a secondary consult from spectrum. I've found a document online about how to access services for BPD in Victoria. I am a recovering Borderline, bulimic, family violence survivor with depression and anxiety and so all this confronting of the mental health professionals is so challenging for me. I will keep trying.
