Hope [from a 8-Year alumnus]

Hi there, I haven't been on the site for maybe 8 years or so.
Yesterday, I received am email asking for donations.
Edit - I decided probably better not to include email addresses in the post.
Of course, I am more than happy to donate. This site is one of the couple of things which I believe I owe my life to.
Like many people, I guess, I went right through the 'trying to make it work,' 'thinking I was going crazy' over to 'this can't work,' 'exiting' and finally 'building a new life.' The support from people here was just outstanding.
Please all remember how important the work is that you do. This is a very special place.
Blessings, Samuelll

Hi Samuell... .
Welcome back. You're a 8-year alumnus, now!

There is no need to demonize people who have BPD.
You need to be brutally honest with yourself if you pursue this relationship.
Good advice then... .good advice now.
