It is extremely unlikely that your daughter and my son (now 19) will change much or at all at least until their 40s. The disorder(s) does tend to lessen significantly at middle age. That is mortifying


I would have thought BPD lasted lifelong, so if it eases up quite a bit around 40, assuming maybe even 30s, that’s much better than lifelong.

I’m having a brain fart so I’m gonna stick with the word lifelong although I’m pretty sure there’s a better word for it

You may be right. There are many similarities with the disorders, but maybe that isn't one of them.

My experience is with ASPD so that's what I've looked into the most. And supposedly, there seems to be pretty good evidence that ASPD traits lessen or fall off later in life. Although even with many of those folks, relationships continue to be difficult for them.
