Mum and Daughter

[Maconna]

Hi All

I'm new to this....umm ok.
6yrs ago I found partner in shed. We have 2 daughters.
Now 20 and 19.
My now 19yr old currently lives with my parents.
She did yr 8 then everything for her went haywire. 4yr mental health rollercoaster.
She has now been diagnosed BPD. Unfortunately the reason living away was very bas communication and reactions.
She told me almost a yr ago she was a boy....my response was ok, but I can't change over night to call you by a different name ect. It was going to take time. Time was not of essence sadly.
We started to slowly make amends but things have flared and I don't know how to cope. I'm in breakdown mode. It effects every one around. I've chose to step aside and limit contact even with my parents but it didn't work....I'm Losing my daughter and my parents. Lost.
