Just here for some support! My granddaughter’s father is making our lives miserable! Just some insight would be great! I’ve never in my life had to deal with someone so explosive, angry, impulsive and awful as he is! It’s exhausting!

Hello and welcome,
notadanfan!
Although I'm sorry for the circumstances that caused you to find us, I'm really glad you did. You've come to the right place for support and insight - you are not alone.
Relationships with people with BPD (pwBPD) are challenging, exhausting as you say. We get it here, better than anyone else ever could.
What's happening with your GD's father?
Again, Welcome!

Hi and welcome. You are in the right place for support. Are we talking about your Son in law? Is he diagnosed with BPD? It is okay if he is not as many of us have a family member with no known diagnosis but BPD seems a good fit.
What sort of behaviors is he exhibiting?Does your GD (grand daughter) live with him?

What's going on, specifically, and how can we help? How old is your GD, and how is your daughter dealing with things?
