New to this forum. Glad to have a place to relate to others dealing with this.

Not sure how to begin.  I'm married 35+ years with 2 children and one step child to a woman who is clearly BPD.  I did not know that early on, but I did know that she had "emotional issues" from day 1.  It has been a long road.  I don't have to tell everyone on this forum how difficult this has been, of course.  But I am happy that I have finally found a place to share my experiences and frustrations with people who have been dealing with the kinds of things that I have.

Hi and welcome to the site - you're among friends who have experienced the same things you're going through. BPD always runs to the same script and we can all relate totally.

35 years is a long time but you're still together - that's commendable. How have you been coping with your wife's illness? Many people have different ways to reduce the conflict, how are you managing at the moment?

We're all still learning so feel free to tell us more or just plain rant and get things off your chest, it always helps.

Regards.
