BPD and rejection

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.

BPD and rejection

« on: May 07, 2017, 03:41:14 PM »

How do people with BPD process rejection? Do they demonize the person who rejected them? Idealize? What happens to a BPD person after a romantic breakup?

My husband idealizes his ex girlfriend/fiance. He is constantly comparing me to her. If I could only be more like her... .etc etc. So I don't know if this is always true but it certainly can be.
