I still think she's bpd & hope that she gets the right type of meds, but for now she's dx'd bp. I don't know if she doesn't understand she can request to leave the hospital now or pretends she doesn't b/c her H wants her home now to take care of the kids.

I've spent some time talking to her H and he is not going to take this well. Due to her excessive spending while they have no money he's cutting her off completely. Said he is not even going to put gas in the car & when she needs to buy something he'll escort her & pay for it.

I've tried to explain to him over & over, the more he tries to control her the harder she's going to fight.

Uggh, this is going to be ugly. My mom returns from China on the 20th & I guess the house is trashed. (Including a fire my sister started one drunk night.)

I'm happy I live 2 states away for that part of it. Three controlling, self-centered individuals trying to control each other. I just wish there was a way to save the kids from the agony of it all.

BTW: H is doing GREAT this week. It's been really fun.

Bonnie...don't worry about the label part of the dx. The meds are the same anyway. Therapy plays a big part in the treatment of BPD. At the very least, self-education. Its a very ugly situation from what you have described, and her dh is going to make things so much worse for her. But you have to concentrate on you and your H. You know that. I wish things were better, keep hoping. If you have any questions about BPD, or anything, go ahead and ask.

Love and Hugs,

Bonnie, I'm so sorry all this with your sister has come up right now. But, as Keli said, you have to focus on your dh right now. It sounds like things on that front are going really well. Focus on that for now.


Yes, you love your sister and it hurts to see her go through this. But, you now know she is getting help. So try to take comfort in that.


Hugs,
Traci
