  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    advice on dealing with mom with bpd

    Pretty bad. She threw a flashlight at my sister and threatened suicide. So, they called the police and she ended up back in the mental hospital. She was released yesterday and immediately went off on my dad and started hitting him, so they readmitted her. BUT they let her out today and though...

    advice on dealing with mom with bpd

    They had to call the cops on her tonight because she threw something at my sister, then threatened suicide. So, she is at the hospital right now. I am praying she will get a good doctor who understands what is going on and will put her in a better facility this time. This is exhausting.

    advice on dealing with mom with bpd

    I believe you guys are right and I have got to talk to my other family members and discuss doing this. She is still not taking any meds and just wreaking havoc on everyone's lives. Police called, walking out of doctors appointments, yelling, high and lows, etc... They have taken her car keys...

    prayer for mother with bpd and family

    Yes, but she won't go. She does not trust any doctor at this point. I am very concerned that she is gonna end up right back in the mental hospital. I really think she needs to be somewhere for a couple of weeks, they let her out entirely too soon.

    prayer for mother with bpd and family

    My mother is currently going through an episode of mania and is convinced there is nothing wrong with her, won't see a doctor, won't take her meds. She JUST got out of a 5 day stay at a mental hospital and none of us know what to do next. My trust and hope are in the Lord regardless of what...

    advice on dealing with mom with bpd

    I know. :( She says she only wants to discuss her meds with my father, but that's just because he is bending to her moods. I am at a loss right now, I am praying and getting every solid believer I know to pray for her. Just to at least get to the point that she knows she needs help.

    advice on dealing with mom with bpd

    Well, she is back home now and still not taking her meds properly. All I can do is pray at this point. I talked to her some today, and though she did get upset with me, she called and apologized later. I can't tell where she is right now, but I am fervently praying that God will help her realize...

    a big THANK YOU

    I want to let you know how much I appreciate everything you have shared here. My mother has been diagnosed with bipolar and is currently going through an EXTREMELY bad spell. My family and I don't really know how to handle it and have been researching intensely. Coming here and reading your...

    advice on dealing with mom with bpd

    Thank you both, so much, for your advice. It is very hard to deal with this when I live 5 hours away. For some reason during all this, I was the only she trusted and never blew up at... so then when my family members cannot handle her, they call me to calm her down. My husband and I are wedding...

    advice on dealing with mom with bpd

    She had gotten really bad, physically abused my dad, yelling and cursing at everyone (she has NEVER done any of these things before), and had almost completely lost her grip on reality. She also has to have one person to demonize all the time, most recent was her father who she is now claiming...

    advice on dealing with mom with bpd

    My mother was diagnosed with bpd a couple of years ago and placed on several medications. One of those was Lithium and it made her hands shake badly. She decided to go off it (and all others) completely on her own, because the shaking cause my brother and his wife to not allow my mom to watch...
