Welcome to BPD Family So sorry that your ex has EUPD (aka BPD). Depression can be tough to manage. Do you know if your ex takes some meds for depression and/or is in therapy at the current time? It can be easy to just be a hermit, while in the state of depression, and not want to come out, be active and socialize. Does your ex have any pattern with his depression (i.e. Seasonal Depression in the Winter)? What EUPD behaviors, that your ex exhibits, concern you the most (other than the depression)? What are the provisions for your ex's visitations? We would like to help you gather the necessary tools to keep your son safe and free from harm.

What's the visitation like?

I can only say that, try to be with your son as much as possible, because in such situation kids are mostly affected. As far as working hours are concerned, you can ask your friends or relatives to support you.

I think it would be resolve your issues up to some extent. I hope that you will find it up to the mark
