According to Singer, his patients used these feeling states to ward off the horror of feelings of inner emptiness or deadness. For some patients, any physical feeling, ...

My daughter's due date is Dec. 10th and I have been really stressing out this pregnancy because of all the drama from the baby's father. He was telling me he loved me a few months ago, then he stopped talking completely for awhile. He wouldn't talk to me about anything until last night, and he basically made it clear that he had no intentions on being any kind of family with our kids and I. ...

Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and any other forum for that matter. Myself and my daughter i believe are victims of bpd abuse (daughters mother). I am 33 years old and my daughter just turned 4. This is a last ditch effort to seek help, advice or to just vent. My medical insurance is crap to say the least. I have read several books and articles over the past couple of years ...
