Breakthrough today

[Aburn4827]

  Today was a good day... .so far.  My wife came to me this morning and has said she finally see's that she has BPD and is looking to get help.  Now, I'm not getting my hopes up just yet.  She has said previously she thought she may have it and wanted to get help, but never did.  But I really think this time she means it.  We are also already seeing a therapist, for marriage counseling, who has stated to me she thought my wife had BPD as well and was working on it with her.  So I'm excited about at least the possibility of things finally starting to get better.  We had been on this down hill slope it seemed like for so long in our marriage, and now it looks like we are starting to climb back up.  I know it will be a hard climb back up, but at least we are making progress!

Congrats.  Was BPD mentioned before to her and she finally came around to agree, or did she find this on her own?

That's great to hear, I really hope she follows through.

She had mentioned once before that she thought she may have it, but then turned against it saying it was just alcoholism.  But I think she is finally seeing its more than just alcoholism.
