If you have a daughter with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you may feel frustration, shame, and your family may be at the breaking point dealing with angry outbursts, threats, and constant emergencies.

You need solid skills you can use now to help your daughter and hold your family together.

In this important guide, you'll learn real solutions and strategies based in proven-effective DBT and CBT to help you weather the storm of BPD and restore a sense of normalcy and balance in your life. You'll find an overview of BPD so you can better understand the driving forces behind your daughter's difficult behavior. You'll discover how you can help your daughter get the help she needs while also setting boundaries that foster respect and self-care for you and others in your family. And, most importantly, you'll learn "emergency parenting techniques" to help you put a stop to abusive patterns and restore peace.

If your daughter has BPD and your family is struggling to make it through each day, this book offers essential skills to help you cope and recover a sense of stability.

Most helpful book on the subject yet

I think the doctor interviewed my daughter for this book. I am joking but it sounds exactly like my daughter...Extremely helpful. Provides coping strategies for the parents of BPD daughters. My daughter is a grown woman but this was still very helpful in explaining her behavior.

We/she has seen numerous therapists over many years. This was the most enlightened info have gotten to date. Highly recommend

When your daughter has BPD

This is a great resource to have when understanding BPD and how the family unit can cope with the disorder. It’s easy to read and the strategies are easy to use. I highly recommend this book.

Very helpful

Very helpful in understanding my daughter’s struggles and how to react and deal with issues.

the clarity and effectiveness of the narrator

i liked the examples provided and the explanations of what one can expect by following this advice, the preparing of the parent.

Good look into this disorder

The narration was boring and sometimes there was no separation from one part to the next. The information in this book is very helpful and gives me a feeling of hopefulness and manageability. I think this book is a good resource and I recommend this book.

Extremely helpful and actionable

The author described my family’s dynamics. Extremely insightful and very clear and actionable suggestions for navigating this life-long condition. Thank you. I wish I would have had this book when my daughter was a young teenager - or even younger. Looking back, I can see that as a young child she already was displaying many BPD traits. Thank you.

Must read

This book is divided, and organized extremely well. That is important so that I can go back and reference it easily if I need to. It is practical, honest and helpful. It will allow me to understand for the first time what I am dealing with and give me tools to support my daughter who I love so much.

Very Helpful

Very helpful for learning to set boundaries for a better family life for everyone in the family.

Great resource for parenting all teens!

I've begun to suspect one of mine has BPD. She's too young to be diagnosed, but this book helped me practically. It reinforced that most of us ARE good parents, don't let the difficult child define you. It tells typical behaviors that BPD's have and how to face them. It's right on as far as describing my experiences. It's good to know we are not alone, and there is help. I believe kids can heal this- or prevent it from coming to fruition, with the right tools. We need more therapists to acknowledge the specific problems without diagnosing, and to give parents the tools and advice that is fitting. I wish I had this tool years and years ago. If you're a parent, read it.

Outstanding

This was such a helpful resource for us. We are truly grateful for this excellent book.
