Hi, I'm new here.

I'm new here, I was excited to see such a resource exists.
My partner of 11 years is having a showdown with my stepmother who like my mom has a borderline diagnosis.
the waters get so muddy.
she'll yell.
there will be tears.
i've shed enough already,
i just sit here and wait and pray.
I don't know any of you but, just knowing that even one other set of human eyes may read these words, sometime in the future, makes me feel much less alone. Thank you whoever you are.
In Gratitude and Hope.

Hello elonza,
I am sorry for all that you're going through. I am glad you have found this place - you are correct that you don't need to feel so alone, as there are many people here that will understand what you have experienced and what you feel.
Both your mother and step-mother have BPD? That must have been terribly confusing for you. How long ago did you come to know that they both have BPD? How do you feel it's affected you? Would you mind sharing more of your story with us?
Again, welcome to the forum. It's a powerful place. Many of us here feel much less alone since we have found it.

I don't yet know the lay of the land but, am already awe-inspired by what I'm reading.
the d.e.a.r.m.a.n. information- if that is all I find, I already feel so grateful!
Just reading the posts of people with high conflict relations--/
I'm not alone.
Thank you endlessly.
I stumbled onto this site from a search for conflict resolution+BPD... .
Here we are!
Thank you!
Blessings!
