VIDEO: "What is parental alienation?" Parental alienation is when a parent allows a child to participate or hear them degrade the other parent. This is not uncommon in divorces and the children often adjust. In severe cases, however, it can be devastating to the child. This video provides a helpful overview.

Married for 14 years. From the start I knew something eas strange but I thought, well I am damaged goods also.
Some teo years ago I heard about BPD and it all started making sense.
We have an 11yo son, very attached to both of us and to the idea of family. I decided long ago that I will persist in this marriage no matter what ar least until he is 18.
So the only thing is - what happens when your uBPD partner crosses the line that she jas trouble crossing back?
When shame is just too big. Its not that I blame her. Its that when she is OK she is more and more aware that our son i suffering. I spoke to him and he realises that something is different with mom, but he would rather keep up with it if we stay together. And if we divorce we said he wants to go with the parent that did not want to divorce “because the other one is aggressive”. He means her because he know i never speak about the divorce.
Its all breaking my heart totally

I'm so sorry. My husband stayed with his uBPD/NPD x because of their children, and it was about ages 12-14 that the stress began to show with the children.

Is your son in therapy?

11 year olds don't have the perspective of an adult. They are not equipped to handle disordered behavior. They also don't have a full idea of a marital relationship.

Yes, of course consider the child's feelings and well being, but the child does not get to choose in this situation - he doesn't have the capacity to choose in his best interest. It's up to the adults to make this decision. If you did go through with a divorce, it will also be up to the courts and you would need a lawyer to help you with this. I think counseling for children going through a divorce is a good idea.
