Help for dealing with personality disorder in family member

@dazlin Hello. I just wanted to interject that I have attended the free 12 week course through NAMI. It was a total Godsend. It really helped to understand the various mental disorders and also how to converse with those that have the disorder. The group tends to become close and that helps to provide comfort as well. Just about every town has a NAMI chapter. Best of luck to you.

My husband and I attended in 2008 when our daughter was just beginning to show signs of what was misdiagnosed as bi.polar. she actually suffers from borderline personality disorder. I plan to take the week family course again

I wouldn't say I'm dealing with a mental disease (I want to clear that up)...this is a highly intelligent person with more of a personality disorder that chooses poor decisions that always reap bad consequences...hurtful to the entire family and takes no responsibility for their actions...I really dont want to label it, but I surely know what it is. I wouldn't say it's an addiction either...pure delusional thinking to benefit oneself. Seems I become the blame and target as well if I dare offer advice or guidance.
Wreaking havoc on their own life as well. I'm looking into the programs suggested here...appreciate so much!!
