News of Significant Others, Family & Friends Forum

Hello all, this is my first post on any sort of support board. I have spent about a month reading experiences those who recently left a relationship with a BPD and I would like to get perspective from anyone who would be willing to share. I apologize, this is a long one.

About 4 months ago, I left a 7 year relationship with my BPD ex. He and I got together when I was 21 ...

I have read some good posts and of course each person situation is different so I wanted some advice on my situation.
Her:
Lara, 32, two kids which are 12 and 14, she has been divorced 2 times, diagnosed with BPD
Myself:

I found her on a whim on a bad day and we started talking. The initial intent from my side was to provide ...

Moved to Significant Others ForumHello,

I hope I can get some guidance regarding my mother-in-law.I am convinced my mother-in-law has HPD. I have been with her son for over 9 years and have been able to (I hate saying deal) but been able to deal with his mother's strong personality for years. I thought she was suffering from borderline traits, but never put much thought into it. It has taken a toll on my mental ...

My partner of six year and wife of two years suddenly left our home without and warning or explanation. He has moved in with a male colleague from work and refuses all contact with me.

I was able to get her to agree to see a counsellor and she has been for 8 weeks now.

She is also having thoughts of self harm. I never saw her behave like this in our relationship and she ...

Hello,

I know that my mother is a histrionic. I still love her, but her behaviour really ruins it for me. I am 21 years old and I still live at home, and will move to another city to become a medical doctor in 3 months. I am still dependant to live with her until I move to my new appartment and my father is dead, so she is the only parent I have.

The ...

****post moved to significant others, family & friends forum as it relates to questions about a relationship with someone with bpd****

Maybe an odd question to ask as I've had NC with her for over 4 weeks. She has my email address and is in a new relationship with someone totally different from me (which seems odd in itself - I'll elaborate for anyone interested).

Of course, the new relationship started whilst we were on ...

If you are involved with someone who has been violent in the past, you are the most safe if you assume they may be violent again. Taking some basic steps can increase the chances of safety for you, your children, and anyone else around you.

Taking these steps does NOT mean you are overreacting. You may feel "silly" planning for your safety if you are not in the middle of a current violent situation. It ...

Moved ot Significant Others as it relates to involvement with a person with HPD and is not specifically about the disorder itselfI'm not sure what to do really. Do I confront her and just tell her that I can't be around her anymore when we are in a group? I honestly can not bring her anywhere or go anywhere with her without her flipping out histrionically, center stage grabbing, acting all crazy, talking NONSTOP so ...

Hi, this is my first post so I hope this is acceptable! I am very worried about my girlfriend, she has never been formally diagnosed with any condition or even seen a GP or anything, but I thought my query seemed to fit here best. I am growing more and more concerned my girlfriend is suffering from a mental health issue - she has intense mood swings from very happy to very sad and angry, ...

My wife of 10 years has been recently diagnosed with schizo affective disorder. She was having delusions of hearing voices of people outside of our house and also people following her every time she would leave our house. With once a week therapy sessions along with drugs, she has gotten better, but she still insists she is under surveillance form the insurance company that is providing her long term disability. She also is insists I ...
