Hi Mootpoint,
and thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

I just moved and took a live in job with 3 borderline residents. When I took the job I was NOT told about the level of violence here and it's been hard.
I was also just recently told I was borderline and although some of it fits..some of it doesn't.
I am certianly not opposed to learning more and growing more, but I'm darn mad that I wasn't given full info. I also have PTSD and it's something I've worked with for years. I have made a point of creating a career that excluded violence. Now.. here I am!
My decision to stay will be based on my own health. I am looking for resources .. forums where I am with my peers and can trouble shoot these things.

I think what I'm most interested in is finding coping skills that work for me, learning more about the disorder and finding common ground to talk about it.
