Before you can make things better, you have to stop making them worse... Have you considered that being critical, judgmental, or invalidating toward the other parent, no matter what she or he just did will only make matters worse? Someone has to be do something. This means finding the motivation to stop making things worse, learning how to interrupt your own negative responses, body language, facial expressions, voice tone, and learning how to inhibit your urges to do things that you later realize are contributing to the tensions.

Is it normal to feel like it's too much doubting your sanity and always feeling like he's dragging you down? Can there be a happy future with someone with BPD or am I just setting myself up for a divorce?

Hey Bluefish, Welcome!  Whether to stay or part ways is a question only you can answer, I'm afraid, though we can help you to find the right path for YOU.  I emphasize You, because that's what it comes down to: your gut feelings, your needs, your values, etc.  What makes you think your SO had BPD?  Have you had a chance to read up on BPD?  If not, this site has lots of great information.

Hi Bluefishthings,   

Welcome

I'd like to join Lucky Jim and welcome you to the family. I think that Lucky Jim put that we'll, I recall feeling like I was going crazy and every day felt like the future was bleak. I'd just like to add to what Lucky Jim said, a pwBPD will say mostly negative things about you and will project a lot their stuff too, so it doesn't paint a very realistic picture about yourself, it's distorted really. It helps to talk others that have gone through a similar experience and we can offer you a more balanced perspective about you and your situation then a pwBPD can. You're not alone.
