Understanding Attachment Instability
Parents often find it difficult to understand the shifting attachment dynamics in children with BPD. One moment, their child might be seeking closeness, and the next, they may be rejecting them, causing confusion and frustration. Parents may struggle to know how to respond appropriately and feel helpless in trying to provide the consistency their child needs.
Fear of Abandonment
A common pain point for parents is witnessing their childโs intense fear of abandonment. This can lead to emotional outbursts, such as extreme anger or clinging behaviors, that are difficult to navigate. Parents may feel torn between wanting to support their childโs need for reassurance and feeling overwhelmed by the childโs unpredictable reactions.
Dealing with Identity Shifts
It can be challenging for parents to understand their childโs shifting sense of self. The child may fluctuate between viewing themselves as โgoodโ or โbad,โ and parents might struggle with how to support them through these moments without reinforcing negative self-beliefs or enabling unhealthy patterns.
