My 21 year old daughter has recently been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. I don't know a lot about it, but what I've been reading about it. She always tells me that she doesn't feel like I love her, even though I've put a roof over head, and I asked her to move in with me after she got kicked out of her apartment so she wouldn't be on the streets. She tells me that she doesn't think I care about her because I don't spend time with her, but I do spend time with her when I can. I work, and she's not my only child; I have two other daughters plus two step-children. She feels that she is being neglected and the other kids get my attention and she doesn't. I don't know what to do anymore. I love my daughter, but she is so difficult to get through to. She thinks everybody else is the reason her life is in such disorder. Is this normal behavior for people with borderline personality disorder? Please tell me how I can deal with this.
