Title: First post on this site...seeking support Post by: Mo9 on October 08, 2019, 09:31:41 PM Hi...I'm the wife of a person with BPD. We have been married 27 years and I just recently began reading "Stop Walking on Egg Shells" to try to establish boundaries and learn responses to minimize conflicts. I am trying to not allow his moods to steal my joy. It is exhausting! I found myself drinking to numb myself and am 6 months sober, which is an added challenge. I am hoping to find connections that can empathize, encourage and provide me an outlet to others that understand.
Thanks in advance, Mo9 Title: Re: First post on this site...seeking support Post by: Radcliff on October 09, 2019, 01:20:59 AM *welcome*
You're in the right place. We're sorry for your tough situation, but are glad you've found us. Many of us have been in decades-long relationships. It can be tough, to say the least. Establishing boundaries and preserving the joy are great things to be doing. Congrats on being 6 months sober! This is a great place not just to get support, but also to refine your use of coping tools that can improve things. Can you tell us a bit about one or two boundaries you are implementing? RC |
