Leaving a Partner with Borderline Personality Disorder"In all of our relationships throughout life, we will meet a variety of individuals with many different personalities. Some are a joy to have in our life and some provide us with life-long love and security. Others we meet pose some risk to us and our future due to their personality and attitudes. Both in medicine and mental health - the key to health is the early identification and treatment of problems - before they reach the point that they are beyond treatment."This article is for those partners of someone with BPD who want a strategy to exit the relationship. Written by Joe Carver, PhD, the article describes the three stages of leaving—The Detachment, Ending the Relationship, and Follow-up Protection—and how to plan and manage each stage while minimizing drama and destructive cycles of behavior.
