BPD husband

[Mel2018]

Hi,

Does anyone else have a BPD husband who’s caused lots of discord in their family life?

Looking for tips and hearing other people’s experiences.

Hey Mel2018,

Welcome to the forums!

I don't have a BPD husband but hopefully someone can jump in soon enough with their own experiences!

In the meantime I found these threads which might help - please note though some of them are a bit old.

Hi Mel, welcome

Here are a few you can google

Topic: emotional blackmail, likely extreme BPD- beyondblue

Topic: is there room for stubbornness?- beyondblue

Topic: denial, why?- beyondblue

Topic: who cares for the carer?- beyondblue

Topic: controlling parent, the effect on their child- beyondblue

Topic: testing family members to their limits- beyondblue

Hope you enjoy the read. In no way am I assuming your husband does the things mentioned in those threads.
