I love my partner desperately, we've over come more obstacles than I would have believed possible at first, and despite all the reasons we should't be together, I have found myself wanting to spend the rest of my life with him, and then everything changed.
6 weeks ago he went into 'crisis', started talking, or arguing with himself, dissociating, couldn't remember anything, a routine appointment with the community mental health team quickly escalated to the police being called and them attempting to section him, unsuccessfully it turned out (in addition to BPD he's got Complex PTSD). Quickly a diagnosis and meds were given. A month later there was a voluntary admission to hospital, short lived.
But none of the above is why I have signed up. I can deal with the above, I can deal with the worry of him losing his job and being financially dependent on me,
In the last few weeks what has
