Title: jumping boards Post by: twojaybirds on January 27, 2015, 01:38:56 PM Hi,
I have been on the parenting board for a while and thanks to much of what I learned things are doing well on that end. However here I am a fiancée with an UBPD or at least many similar traits. I want him and this relationship and am struggling with transferring the DBT skills I use with my dd to this situation. I just purchased The High Conflict Couple to read. I know he will not touch it. He has agreed to have a neuropschy eval done with an apt in March and he respects our relationship counselor who understands my situation. I am going to a writing workshop in March entitled writing your body. The focus is on how to write and develop real character pain. The workshop starts with us all sharing a story of ourselves or another who lives with daily physical or emotional pain. Then we share a story of us acting with strengthen. I just know I am tired.

With over 500 posts, I'm sure you have built up some skills already! The good news is that it is easier to transfer skills from one r/s to another than it is to build them up from nothing! I want him and this relationship and am struggling with transferring the DBT skills I use with my dd to this situation. Give us something to work on or point you at. What have you struggled the most with in the last day or the last week with your H? Sharing/Venting a full interaction from start to (unpleasant) finish is a great place to start. |
