Dad reaches out to Mom's father Steve Walsh to talk about Tara's reaction to her diagnosis of BPD
Dad reaches out to Mom's father Steve Walsh to talk about her behavior since the diagnosis and recommendation of a higher standard of care.
It's June 4th, 2018 and a couple weeks of review of both Mom and Dad by the Psychiatrist Mom's doc recommended were complete. The verdict for Dad? He had been the victim of a serious crime and trauma, but had no mental illness and nothing to treat beyond the understandable anxiety of his ordeal.
For Mom, the verdict was tougher. She was diagnosed Borderline Personality with sociopathic traits and told that she needed a higher standard of care. Privately, the Psychiatrist expressed concerns for Evie's safety and urged Dad not to leave Evie alone with her.
The next days were hard for Dad, as the following exchange between him and Grumpa show.
Tara attempts to flee to New York a second time later that day, this time with Evie, but Steve Walsh and her doctor talk her out of it and she returns to the apartment.
Dad had started communicating with Grumpa weeks earlier after Mom suffered a psychotic episode and encouraged him to speak with Mom's friend, Jesse, and her doctors. Mom would fly back to NY for a 'vacation' to figure out treatment just a few days later; and never return.
