Title: Just tired
Post by: AngieHardy on October 13, 2025, 11:39:15 AM
My daughter has BPD which really manifested when I got a divorce 13 years ago. And I’m just tired of dealing, handling, negotiating, giving in, settling boundaries etc etc

Hi AngieHardie
You have every right to be tired - if not totally done! I am convinced there is nothing like the journey alongside a BPD loved one.

Is there any chance you can take a 'timeout'? After all these years, you could feel even more tired if you closed the door for a short time, but it can stop the slide into completely flatlining. If you can try including frequent, short timeouts and - if you can - stick to these as your health need.

There are different types of timeouts. Do you have these already in your overstressed and demanding life?
