Hi Gabyg105 and welcome. I'm sorry to hear about your separation. It looks like I very well may soon be separating from my partner of 10 years as well so I can fully understand your sadness. You will find support here to get you through this time.

Are you comfortable to share some of the details of what led to the separation / pushing away? Did the BPD diagnosis have a direct impact on your partner's decision?   

All the best,
~ROE
