			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Friends,
<br>

<p>It has been observed that now a days kids are using internet, not only for knowledge purpose but also for personal use. Free email services are not always
safe, and specially for the kids its important to have a secure email service so that we can make their email accounts safe and clean. There are many sources
available now which provides a better and safe email service specially for kids use. <a target="_blank"... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ All - I am so glad I found this forum.  I have an adult daughter with BPD, diagnosed 25 years or so ago, and I am still full of questions.
<br>
<br>
The first is, how do you deal with what appear to be faulty perceptions/memories in your child?  Sometimes, when I try to talk with my daughter, I feel as if
we are living in parallel universes.  An example from yesterday.  I divorced her father for emotional abuse and eventually married the sweetest, kindest man
you could hope to meet.  Anyway,... ]]></description>

her anymore. We are just now beginning to seek treatment with medication and therapy however, I need help myself with ways of coping. I get so angry when she
acts out that Im sure I&#39;m not helpng the situation. I don&#39;t know how to deal with this. Do I try to be loving? Do I walk away? I am at the end with
this. My nerves are shot,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ My 18-year old daughter has BPD.  Today she made another suicide threat.  I am to the point that I am putting a wall up inside me because I can&#39;t take it
anymore.  I know it&#39;s awful, but I really did not react to her threat.  It&#39;s like the story of the boy crying wolf.  She will not take her meds,
cancels therapy appointments, engages in dangerous behavior, drinking, marijuana, and major binge eating - she has gained so much weight!  I have very awful
thoughts about her - that I... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi, I am new to this forum.  I have just had my 25 year old BP daughter hang up on me.  After weeks of charming me, she once more asked if she could  come and
stay with me for the winter.  I had to say no. The things that she said then, cut deep.  That she would be out in the street, (she&#39;s staying with a friend,
and she said that he is kicking her out) that she would get pneumonia and die.  That  it would be all my fault, for being selfish, etc.  That she would never
call me again.

			<description><![CDATA[ <font size="4"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Has anyone had anything that seemed to help the BPD person to look beyond today? After many conversations it
is clear that our daughter (21) truly has no concept that what she is doing now, and her choices, will affect her next week, month and 4 years from now. As the
future seems so scary to them do you think it is &quot;safer&quot; to just stay in today for them? Of course they never get anywhere without this ability so it
is painful to face... ]]></description>

We&#39;ve tried. She says she wants to go then proceeds to let her grades slip until she flunks or gets D&#39;s. She is now on academic probation with a 1.5
GPA so we feel college should be out of the picture for now.

			<description><![CDATA[ This is my first time to this board. I have a 27 yo daughter living in another state from me w/BPD. Being so far away, I am not sure how to help or how to feel or what to do. Our relationship is very bad right now because I am angry, hurt, frustrated and so many other emotions I can't put into words right now. She has been on a downward spiral all this year. She has been hospitalized twice in the past 30 days threatening to harm herself. I am looking for other parents of adult children with... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ My BF's son is 11 and is starting to creep me out. He has no friends, except an 8 yr old he bosses around. He has no respect of personal space or of things. Not even his own  most of the time. He doesn't seem to just look at you, he's always watching. I haven't heard anything original come out of his mouth, he just repeats what others have said. He steals stuff from school mates, he is failing 6th grade, and gets discipline reports for kicking kids and bullying. I could go on, but I want to... ]]></description>

She drinks too much and probably abuses other drugs- I don't know.  She now says she is just fine and is working as a &quot;dancer&quot; in a strip club.  Of course we are mortified and and offered to let her come home(God help us) and start over on a different path.  No she says- it's her life and this is just fine.  I cannot deal w/ this.
