The problem with BPD is that it can’t be “fixed” with medication. Sure they can mellow them out somewhat but the issues will always reappear because people with BPD are stuck in an emotional loop.
I would research local therapists who have specific work with BPD. I would also get a psychiatrist to determine if drugs might be an option. Sometimes the right cocktail of of drugs can have results, but mainly they don’t work with BPD.
The only thing that seems to “work” is a really good therapist who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy. A person with BPD has to be made aware that they have this condition, recognize triggers, and have “tools in the toolbox” to work through it with minimal fallout to others.
As parents, I would suggest therapy as it can be a way to learn more about BPD, and how to establish firm boundaries with the BPD child. And also, it’s good to have a place to vent. I would also recommend therapy for any other kids as well. Remember that self care is very important.
BPD is the devil. And I a sorry you’re dealing with this. It’s your child so you have to do what you need to do.

This is sound advice. I've been dealing with a family member with for 50+ years now. It's not easy. It's more a behavioral problem and not a chemical issue.
You have to develop patience like no other. When they have an episode, I've found to keep silent and let them vent and have their moment. be the bigger person and understand no sane person would act out this way. It's not easy especially when you see them hurting others. Pick your moments but never in the middle of them acting out.
The hardest part about Borderline is getting the person to admit they have a problem. The one I know has tried 5 different ones over the course of many years. It never works because they cannot except fault, wrongdoings, misconduct, etc. It's difficult. At the end of the day, it's you that has to change and accept how it is. Once you do that, you will find a little peace.
