[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no cure for a personality disorder. They will always be the victim and therapy won't help. You maintain a relationship by keeping your distance. Her dumpster fire of a life isn't your problem.[/quote] +100 As painful as it is, OP, you need to distance yourself from your child ASAP. I know it’s difficult — but it’s necessary to keep your own peace. -BTDT (my oldest has both BPD and NPD)[/quote] +1,000,000. It cannot be repeated enough: by definition, a personality disorder is a problem you cannot fix. And if you reinforce the dysfunction by doing what innumerable parents of damaged/dysfunctional and/or severely disabled children do which is to make the damaged/dysfunctional child your focus and value whatever crumbs you get from her over the authentic connection you have with your healthy daughter, you will damage the latter too. So buck the trend: put your energy into your relationship with your healthy daughter.[/quote]
