This is part of the cycle. When is it time to say enough is enough? What about my children. I'm feeling totally trapped. I think I'm depressed.
My therapist who I have been seeing for about a year now told me to read
stop walking on eggshells
, which I'm slowly getting through and although it's been enlightening, and I feel strangely relieved in knowing and understanding what it is that I think I may be dealing with, I'm also completely shocked.
I don't think this has completely settled in yet, but the more I read the more completely obvious it becomes to me that what I am dealing with and have continued to deal with is my wife's suffering from BPD.
I don't know what I want anymore and it scares the hell out of me and I'm afraid of what a divorce will do to my young family and our beautiful, innocent children.
I'm seeing my therapist again on Monday.

It's not an easy decision when you add kids and all the others things that make up a marriage into considering a divorce.
How did the therapy visit go?

you have to do what is best for you, and your kids. I know of soo many couples with kids, who did end up getting divorced. It is sad, no one wants it to happen, but its not fair if you stay in a marriage, just for the kids.
Yes, she may be flip flopping on the divorce one day... .loving you the next... .etc... .
Does your wife have a therapist, or is she willing to seek out marriage counseling to save your marriage?
