Title: Just wondering... Post by: bruceli on May 06, 2013, 01:34:34 PM My BPDw usually has her dysregulated blow-outs at bed time so as making it difficult to leave the house and return later. Has anyone else encountered this?

I refused to participate in a circular entrapment argument... . she left 3 times but never left the driveway.
Monday morning 2:ish am to ?:? am, destroying my sleep. I could barely stay awake for the abuse. Still a bit groggy now. I would not start down the path of thinking that they intentionally time their BPD-havior to lessen our chances of escape. That would infer them employing logistics with their mis-directed malice, and all their logic is tangled up in emotional debris and baggage. Remember, these episodes are not planned - they are triggered. IMO, perhaps night and bedtime are hard for BPDs. Sleeping in the same bed is such a trust thing, and the lonely dark is our first fear as infants. Title: Re: Just wondering...

My BPDw has actually said that. Fear of closeness/intimacy and having been single for 15 years. |
