How to communicate after a contentious divorce... Following a contentious divorce and custody battle, there are often high emotion and tensions between the parents. Research shows that constant and chronic conflict between the parents negatively impacts the children. The children sense their parents anxiety in their voice, their body language and their parents behavior. Here are some suggestions from Dean Stacer on how to avoid conflict.

hi NewStart,

My observation is that for people with BPD (pwBPD), separation and divorce can be perceived as abandonment.  And they will act in response to this perceived abandonment: including getting angry/upset at you each time you remind them of the separation/divorce.

In order to avoid this perceived abandonment, they might insist that they are separating from/divorcing you -- that is, they need to believe they are leaving you and not you are leaving them.  Some pwBPD might even become attached to another partner before the divorce is finalized to avoid this perceived abandonment.

However, until they are ready to leave you some pwBPD might drag out the divorce for as long as possible.

Best wishes,

Schwing

Hey NewStart, Have you separated from her?  If so, I would suggest that you are no longer around to bear the brunt of her rages, which causes her anger to build.  In other words, her anger lacks the normal release valve (you) so the pressure increases.
