How Can Borderline Personality Disorder Be Identified In A Person?

Is it wise for a daughter to tell her mother that she has borderline personality, and point to behaviors the child remembers from growing up (i.e. telling the mother that she thinks her mother has lived her life in emotional turmoil, when the mother does not feel that way at all)

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I can understand your emotions. I assume that you are the mother and your child abused you. In any case, mother and girl child relationship are always thorny during the girl child's teen and young adult age period. You have not mentioned the child's and the mothers age. So I assume that too. There are many occasions where the child uses foul language and the mother retracts and the same happens in the reverse too. Both mother and child could fight each other using words and using hands sometime. All the above behavior are normal up to an extent. Limits should not be crossed. For that either of one should adjust. Don't worry. Everything will be alright. Keep your faith.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
