News of Significant Others, Family & Friends Forum

You all work so hard and support each other I think this will help in several ways.

This way Borderlines might see or relate to something, and become self aware about a BPD behavior.

Thank God for the internet and this forum.

In the past three or four weeks, I've digested volumes on the subject of Delusional Disorder, but by chance, I found this board and read a number of the posts.

At first, I thought my wife's insistence that she smelled foul odors was due to her sinuses infections and allergies. I have the same problems and can attest to smelling odors that's really inside your head. Even ...

Hi,

My daughter has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and for the past 5 years has been steadily getting worse to the point where she can barely take care of herself. This past year has been the worst year of her (and my) life. It seems she has spent most of it in bed sobbing, losing her job because she has been yelling at other employees and ...

I am in a marriage with a husband who is convinced that I have, and am having affairs on him. I was not raised that way, and have NEVER even given it a thought. He even puts strange things together that he calls "conincedences" to make his stories and beliefs convincing. In one minute, he tells me he knows I'm not and haven't ever, and in 5 minutes will tell me what a sorry lying ...

Hello all. This older post is somewhat unusual, in that it addresses relationships with both significant others with BPD and also those with HPD. But in any case, it better fits our Significant Others, Family and Friends forum, so I am moving it to that location, leaving a shadow thread in the BPD forum, in case any folks with BPD have insights they would like to contribute. Thanks all, moderator Orion

Hi all. I just wanted to start a thread for those of us that grew up raised by parents with NPD. I think that we tend to have issues and concerns that arise from growing up in such a toxic environment. Also, we have to figure out how to deal with our NPD parents as they age, which can be a really difficult decision to make.

I just started reading this today and I have been crying reading about all the things others are experiencing trying live with someone with PPD because I have experienced it myself. I work in the counseling field but have been trying to keep from admitting to what is in front of me with my husband.

We have been married 14 years and has always thought people were talking about him or laughing at him anytime ...

Recovery for Victims of NPD Partners
(For those unfamiliar with NPD and searching for answers, what we post may seem a little dramatic, but NPD is one of the least studied and most misunderstood of the personality disorders. Most people in the general public know little to nothing of what NPD is really about until they have the bad luck of becoming entangled with someone who has it. For those of you who ARE familiar ...

In the book of proverbs the Bible talks about an adulterous woman. Let me share a few characteristics of a HPD from the Bible:
her mouth is smoother than oil but her end is bitter as worm-wood; her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell; her ways are moveable that thou canst not know them; by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread; she's ...

I am HPD, and let me tell you it is not easy. You think its hard being tossed around by someone you love with HPD, how do you think it is for us?
Many HPD's are not completely heartless, just completely self-centered.

But let me tell you, reading some of the things people have to say in this forum has scared me. I may be promiscuious, but i am in the prime of my life. ...
