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.

Hi,

I don't know if I'm in the correct space but I'd like to try sharing and listening with others the experience of living with a BPD. In my case, my ex who is the mother of my 11 year's old daughter. I don't know if there are video call meeting somewhere maybe I could attend?
Thank you for your support.

We don’t offer video meetings, but we certainly can offer advice and share our own experiences.

What are some of the issues you are dealing with? Are you living in the same household with your ex and your daughter? Or are you sharing custody and living separately?

You'll find a lot of fellow travelers here who can relate to what you're going through.

How is your daughter doing?

BPD captures a big spectrum. How would you describe your ex's traits?

Co-parenting is tough with someone who has BPD, to make an understatement. Have you found anything is working? What kind of custody schedule do you have in place?
