[Depression = 72% of members]

Hi,

   My significant other and I broke up. I have a close family member with the same but higher functioning BPD. I miss my ex but is it possible to have a fulfilling relationship with someone who is lower functioning BPD? Can they get better? Is it worth it in the long run to have kids with them like this?
