Hello!

My mom was diagnosed with BPD several years ago, but never really got the right kind of treatment. I believe this is why she's become a heavy substance user, and is stuck in an endless financial trap with one of our neighbours. It's not a good situation.

I don't know how to help her... she's very resistant to change and has a lot of deeply rooted issues to deal with. She's 43, but I'm almost afraid it's too late for her to ever really get better.

I was diagnosed with BPD myself last week, and was immediately put on a waitlist for a CBT/DBT program... should I try getting my mom access to the same services? I need to move on with my life but I can't just leave her to sink, I want her to get better :(

Thanks
