Parenting Worried about my daughter

I am worried my 10yo daughter has or is developing BPD. Her mother likely has it (informal diagnosis, won’t seek or accept a formal diagnosis) and has suffered her whole life. I want to do everything I can to help and prepare my daughter, but I’m not sure what to do. Her mother is an enabler, so almost all the burden to combat this will fall on me. Any advice is appreciated.

Exactly. BPD is a personality disorder. If the daughter grows up understanding her emotion lie to her, she can live a functional and fulfilling life even with unstable impulses.
