Title: Need to Learn Coping Skills Post by: window01 on November 28, 2017, 03:15:40 PM I'm reading How to Stop Walking on Eggshells and it mentioned this site as a place to find support and share ideas. I'm in a relationship with someone that seems to me to have the traits of BPD. I should definitely leave her, but I feel I can't because I'm worried she will hurt me or hurt herself. It makes me feel trapped, hopeless, and worthless because I don't have the strength to leave. I look forward to being a part of this board.

I also came here after reading SWOE, and I'm really glad I did. I can relate to the impulse to stay because of the worry that my wife will be worse off without me. Can you share a little but more about what this means for you? Has she harmed herself before? What were the circumstances? Does the self harm pre-date your relationship? If so, how did she cope before you knew her? Please share a little more if you can - I can see some definite similarities between our stories and those of many others here. You've come to the right place! ~DaddyBear77 Title: Re: Need to Learn Coping Skills Post by: Tattered Heart on November 29, 2017, 09:18:10 AM Hi window01,
I'm sorry that you are feeling so scared in your relationship. Has your partner physically hurt you before? Can you share with us a little more about what is going on? |
