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.

Family law, Custody, Co-parenting and Divorce

Summary: In the most troubled relationships, it is not uncommon for a BPD partner to unexpectedly abandon the relationship or do something so hurtful that one cannot continue. Your partner may emotionally discard you or become abusive - leaving you to feel there is no choice but to file for divorce.

Audience: Members that are evaluating the emotional health of their marriage and have decided that it is best to dissolve the marriage. Or, those who are in the process of divorce, whether they have initiated the process themselves, or facing a divorce that their spouse filed.

Objective: To take an assertive approach -- not an aggressive or appeasing approach -- to minimize the amount of conflict in high-conflict legal actions, divorces, and custody battles, and to find a way to heal from the trauma, and if we have kids, to create peace in our lives and theirs under challenging circumstances.

General Approach: Family Court is perfectly suited to the fantasies of someone with a personality disorder: There is an all-powerful person (the judge) who will punish or control the other spouse. The focus of the court process is perceived as fixing blame -- and many with personality disorders are experts at blame.

We encourage all members to read our pamphlet bpdfamily.com About Personality Disorders and the Family Courts.
