Title: Recently separated
Post by: Growingpebble on November 18, 2018, 12:08:54 AM
Hi everyone, just recently separated from my spouse of 17 years, who I strongly suspect has BPD. I’m hoping to gain insight into how to move forward and coparent with him, while also setting appropriate boundaries. Thanks for reading.

Hi Growingpebble,

*welcome*

How long have you been separated, how old are you kids,  and is there a custody order? Love to hear more and how best we can help.  What do you feel are major issues at this point?

Hi, Growingpebble :hi:  Allow me to join Turkish in welcoming you. 

I hear Boundaries and Setting Limits (https://bpdfamily.com/content/setting-boundaries) are a concern.   Would you like to say more about what's feeling wrong to you?

Hi Growingpebble,

17 years is a long history is this your first separation? We have tools here that help with r/s (relationships) and communicating with a pwBPD if you're interested in that. If a r/s is not working it's a good idea to try a different strategy
