It is my spouse who brings me here, I'm seeking support. His latest uncontrollable fit of rage has cost him his freedom, he's off to prison for committing another act of violence in the household.  I've recently come to the conclusion that he suffers from BPD. His changing moods, irresponsibility, idolization and then devaluing of not only me, but many people in his life. His over-exaggeration of  the smallest issues, or the complete inability to deal with any issue, often turning away from needed conversations regarding finances or our marriage. He comes up with idiotic reasons to not get something done. Everything is always someone else's, or my fault. The lying, the grand plans that never come to fruition, the wasting of money, the drinking, the blaming, projecting, and endless demands to have his needs met, while mine go ignored.

Now, I have to confess... .I'm glad he's gone. I can finally have some peace and concentrate on me. But I find myself sitting here reading about BPD, wondering if he'll get treatment when he gets out (in just over a year), but I'm also wondering "Why should I care?" He's done and said so many destructive and hurtful things to me, over and over and over again, and he has got to be the worst husband in the world!

I'm hoping to find other's who've decided to end the roller-coaster ride and heal their own lives so I can commit to it as well.

Thanks!
