Hi Atina,

I'd like to join Meili and welcome you to bpdfamily. I can relate with how difficult it is to get family and friends to understand your perspective, sometimes it felt I was having two conversations, I would tell them what happened and explain it to them differently hoping that they'd get it. That being said, it's similar to divorce, it's hard for someone to
empathize with you when they haven't gone through the experience to understand how painful it is. You have a whole forum with people that are in a r/s with a pwBPD, have a family member with BPD or have an ex life myself with BPD, we've walked a mile in your shoes, it helps to talk.
