Can someone offer some words of Support

[BeagleDad1]

My Spouse of 39 years was diagnosed with BPD, about 3 years ago. It was mostly “dormant” until she suffered a traumatic health issue. I’ve been trying my best to hold on and provide love and support in every way possible. It’s so heartbreaking and exhausting for me… I keep wondering where it all went wrong…The beautiful memories of life and love. The joy of living everyday with each other. The minor struggles and difficulties together with disappointments, were trivial throughout life because we always had each other, and our love for each other made the struggles disappear. The difficulties and challenges, would be carried away like a feather in the wind.
I know it’s an illness, but accepting that reality doesn’t mask the pain…
I’ve been desperately trying to reach out to anyone and anybody who can understand what I’ve been going through. Someone who could relate to me because they themselves have experienced this.
What to do, and how to go about doing it. I’ve tried contacting support groups for loved ones but I can’t seem to reach anyone.
I’m the Lighthouse keeper, in what seems to be a never ending storm. I’ve been tasked with having to keep the light on no matter what. I’m just tired, really tired.
I’ve tried to set up Therapists trained in DBT. She will see them for a few sessions and then say, “I don’t like that Therapist, they’re not empathetic enough for me”. This has gone on for the past 2 years.
The worst part of trying to cope with her illness, is when she experiences “splitting” and I become the enemy and the “abuser”. In our 40+ years together, I have never raised a hand to her or uttered an abusive word, and yet, I’ve now been subjected to regular bouts of rage and terrible verbal abuse.
Where has the beautiful, loving partner who has always been my “soul mate” gone? Each time I mention therapy, I’m rebuffed with replies like “I have too many health issues at the moment and until I feel better, I can’t speak to anyone”…
Family members have all but disappeared, because they all admittedly say they don’t know what to say to her for fear of triggering her BPD.
I feel as though I’m in a minefield with a map and the map keeps changing. When she experiences some minor physical issue, it’s always catastrophic. She will insist on being taken to the Emergency Room or to the Doctor to be checked. Countless Trips to the Emergency Room with multiple MRI’s and CT Scans all come back normal or negative. Not only has it caused a great financial burden, but the toll it has taken on my own mental and physical health, has been evident. I’m not allowed to  feel sore, under the weather or even sick, because if I mention a physical problem, I am then told my pain is nothing compared to hers…
I know this post is long, but I feel so alone with no one who seems to be able to offer any words of advice, guidance or encouragement…can someone please offer me a kind word, perhaps to serve as a simple matchstick to light up the darkness I feel enveloping me…
