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.

    My therapist suggested logging on since I am feeling alone and very sad.  My husband left me broken and alone 5 months ago.  I don't know how to move forward.  I wished he didn't have a gambling problem.

   This is my second marriage failure, that I was walking on eggshells but I did not want him to leave.  Nearing retirement age, and scared to start over.  I am ambarrassed and feel very lonely in this big home.  I am going out with friends, family and trying to do the right things to feel better.  I am scared.

Hi Broken again,

I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through a difficult time. Even though the late stages of a r/s with a pwBPD are incredibly chaotic it still fills a void.

I hear from you that he engages in risky behaviours. Is your H diagnosed with BPD? How long were you together? Is this your first separation with your second H?
