The breakdown of my marriage
«

June 06, 2020, 12:05:17 PM »
Hey everyone, I am new here and this is my first post. I am very new to the diagnosis of borderline so am trying to understand how it specifically directly or indirectly contributes to the breakdown of my relationship.
I have been married since 2007 and have one child, son of 12, and most of that time has been really hard and stressful; including recovery from multiple addictions, multiple comorbid mental health issues and suicidal attempts and hospitalization.
I am very curious about how I can best navigate through this to find peace and joy in spite and/or because of the challenges.
open and listening...
Thank you
PapaLion

hi PapaLion, and
Excerpt
am trying to understand how it specifically directly or indirectly contributes to the breakdown of my relationship.
multiple addictions, multiple comorbid mental health issues and multiple suicide attempts definitely takes a toll...on you, on her, on the relationship.
tell us more. i imagine there is quite a bit going on.
you mentioned a diagnosis, was it recent?
