You know we always have to bite the bullett as the old age saying goes at times.It is a good decision for you and little dude. How's he going, still lighting up your life.
Bite the Bullet, thats a great saying that I have not heard in a while. just like "put the pedal to the metal", both of these I will be trying to use more, it throws off the more "mature" or aged people I communicate with... since I shaved my head and facial hair, I at times look about 12 LOL , yes I am easily entertained these days
Ther'e great sayings aren't they You know I'm nearly 55 and feel 18 inside, So i go as the title of a re-cyled teenager / At least your entertainment comes cheap lol. By the way how old are you if you don't mind me asking.
Hi! I was wondering if anyone has any experience with Borderline Personality Disorder and if there are any suggestions on how to help a person that has it. My daughter has been diagnosed with it and depression and I am currently reading a book on it. She was hospitalized several months ago and has been put in a treatment center where she sees a psychiatrist, a therapist and is also getting DBT skills training which is really interesting. I finally get it and am starting to understand why my daughter is the way she is, which is helping me somewhat. Not going to lie, somedays I do all the right things and other days, I feel totally worn out and frustrated. Has anyone dealt with this and is there a possibility it will get better? I noticed validating her feelings does help a lot. She started off with depression after the break up with her boyfriend, was hospitalized recently, and is really having a tough time.
