DESPERATE NEED OF HELP: PARTNER OF ANXIETY SUFFERER

Hi everyone

Let's talk about Codependency!

Ok. So I've been doing lots more research on ME and codependency than ever before. While I don't feel I am a completely Codependent, I do feel I have some strong codependency traits.

I fought back and maintained my ...

Ugh...H thinks I want him to keep drinking!

Now, the new T is saying the same thing! (supposedly).

There is no way on God's Green Earth that I want ...

are you tormenting someone today? (Bpd)(Trigger)

***moved to soff as it's about experience relating to someone with bpd***

I have seen the anguish and suffering a BPD can inflict and I'm wondering if you're doing that now... to someone you love.

I once saw a BPD have a fleeting moment of insight, for that moment she appeared to implode from the weight of causing years or decades of Pain and suffering from her vengeful attacks.

So let me know is there ...
