Before you can make things better, you have to stop making them worse... Have you considered that being critical, judgmental, or invalidating toward the other parent, no matter what she or he just did will only make matters worse? Someone has to be do something. This means finding the motivation to stop making things worse, learning how to interrupt your own negative responses, body language, facial expressions, voice tone, and learning how to inhibit your urges to do things that you later realize are contributing to the tensions.

Hello again. I was active here back in 2013-2014, first trying to figure things out and generally working on 'staying'. In my last conversation thread 7 years ago, ForeverDad was right in that I was probably only 'staying for now'.

I want to start with a huge thank you to so many wonderful people here who helped me out. It's really nice to see a number of you still here, continuing to help the BPDFamily community.

My uBPDw and I had a few generally good years, thanks in great part to valuable lessons I learned when I was active here. But unfortunately something in my uBPDw's life seems to have flipped a switch 1 year ago, and things went downhill fast. The cycles and old familiar patterns are back, and many of them worse than before. I can also see how it's been affecting D10. I'm no longer willing to tolerate what it does to D10 or to me.

At the moment we've had a few peaceful, no-conflict days. But history tells me it's only a matter of time until the next dysregulation and rage.

So I'm starting to research what I need to do to prepare for divorce and plan to start looking for a lawyer soon.

Meanwhile, just a quick 'hello' to those I knew from years ago and to those of you I'm meeting for the first time.
