Title: No Contact - MIL SIL Post by: Rainyday1490 on October 09, 2019, 11:23:18 PM My wife decided she needed to go no contact with her bpd mother and sister after a lifetime of emotional abuse and many large hurtful Interactions this past week. My wife had to block her sister after a major blow up from her two days ago, and her sister started texting me today saying she was going to call the cops if my wife didn’t call her. My wife decided to send her no contact email right after these threats, moments after that my SIL called me over a dozen times, and continued texting me saying it was my fault and how horrible I was and saying I would never see our nieces again... and the list goes on. I couldn’t get her blocked soon enough, she even posted horrid things on my business Facebook page and I had to ban her. I already blocked my MIL so she can’t get any words in. I cant believe how hurtful BPD can make someone. My wife and I are sitting here emotionless. Can we actually stop walking on eggshells now? I didn’t realize how mich i was holding my breath every time the in laws called or we saw them.
