I took half an hour at the end of my day to read a few posts here.  Thank you.  I was here a few years ago, things got better, but busier, and now they are worse again.  After a particularly bad morning in which I am at least proud that I stood my ground and enforced a boundary, I felt lost, trapped, and like total crud.  I remembered this site, read a few posts, and the familiarity of all our stories reminded me that I am not alone.  Thank you.

Hey Max,
I'm sorry that things are heating up again in your world. I saw your recent post on another board. And now you have twins--double the fun! I'm sorry your wife has been being difficult. Good that you are holding fast to your boundaries!  |iiii  Please give us an update on what's going on in your life.

Yes I agree with Max, it’s great having a place to come for support or to hear similar stories. There’s some very knowledgeable and caring people here and I’m thankful for that too.

Hi Max, I do remember you and read your situation on the other threads. It is good that you had some time of relative improvement. BPD is affected by life situations. Any stress- even good stress- like a new baby- impacts any marriage and so it makes sense, a pwBPD would be effected in their own way. There may be times where you feel you need more support than others.

With our own personal growth, I don't think we "arrive" at a situation where we are done needing support or to learn relationship tools. Normal family events and stresses may require that we learn new skills as well.

Glad you feel you have a safe place to come to.
