Hello. Thank you for welcoming me to this community!
I am searching for techniques and support for my marriage.
Communication is perplexing, challenging and difficult. 
There is not a diagnosis. BPD was suggested to me as a possibility from my therapist. Several things I have learned thus far have been helpful.I am in recovery for alcohol and working my program. Thanks again.

There’s a lot you can do to make things better. BPD is a difficult disorder and very mystifying for a partner.

Here’s some reading material for you:

Welcome

The screen name sucked me in immediately!   Being cool (click to insert in post) Being cool (click to insert in post) Welcome new member (click to insert in post) Welcome new member (click to insert in post)

Communication is perplexing, challenging and difficult. 

Oh yes...quite curious to deal with..especially when you try to logically parse their communications.

I think it would be helpful if you can provide an example or two.  That can help us get you pointed in the right direction.

Best,

FF
