Title: Re: Understanding BPD Post by: Learning_curve74 on June 11, 2020, 02:36:33 AM Hi David72, welcome! :hi:
I saw your other post about you and your wife. I'm so sorry to hear that she suffered a traumatic experience during the 2018 break in and that you've been caught up in the aftereffects being the focus of her attacks and rage. How broach the subject that i believe my wife is BPD with her? In your other thread, you said that your wife is a mental health therapist and is seeing a therapist on her own now after two years of avoiding it. What is your goal in telling your wife she might have BPD? There are probably very few people who would be thrilled to be told by their spouse, "I believe you are mentally ill". Will it make you feel better somehow? You said it's been two years of your wife raging against you. Won't telling her that you think she is mentally ill only throw fuel on the fire? Before things can get better, we need to make sure we're not making them worse. |
