Welcome Miss-Understood!
You are not alone, a lot of us have been, and still are, misunderstood. I think you can definitely get help here. There are relevant stories, communication strategies, links to outside information, and maybe best of all, a lot of understanding people to be found here.
As a place to start, you might want to take a look at the information on the home page-tells you what BPD is, how to validate, what to expect, etc. There are specific workshops for understanding co-dependency and other issues that often come up in these relationships.
As a second step, you can check out the different Boards: Staying, Leaving, Undecided, Co-parenting, etc. Even if you see yourself in a certain category (e.g., I am Leaving) there are useful things on other ones: I got tons of useful info on Staying and Undecided also.
Finally, don't be afraid to post some info about your situation. It can be a long intro or a short question, but either way you're likely to hear from people with similar experiences.
Good luck, and hope you stick around.
