bpdwife it's so hard when they're dysregulating.  Others here have pointed out that emotions are contagious. In reading your other posts, I know you're concerned about the impact on kids as well.  Virtual hug (click to insert in post) How do you feel when he's like this? How do you currently respond? And I know at some point he saw a professional - did they offer any advice about his atypical depression?

We're here. I'd love to hear more.  Virtual hug (click to insert in post)
