Thankfully over the last couple of decades there has been some great work done for people with BPD and their family members.. One really good resource is DBT - dialectical behavior therapy - basically it combines cognitive therapy with some mindfulness practices - being present to the moment..

There are workbooks that you can pick up at Amazon and books for family members as well. There is one ok called - walking on eggshells that is helpful for family members as well.

thanks for the help! 🙂 ill be sure to try and find that book!

I completly disagree that theyve come a long way dealing with BPD. The great majority of Drs wont even deal with it because they cant do anything about it.They put the person on meds and for a short time the person might or might not take them.If they do take them they eventually delude themselves that they are 'well' and go off said meds on there own.Then theyre back to b4 square 1. Ten yrs ago I left a long term marriage...he had been diagnosed bipolar but went off his meds whenever he felt like it.He was physically abusive to me and our grown kids.....had young girlfriends calling the house night and day...my 'orders' were to treat them good. I finally divorced him but didnt realize his evilness would turn 2 outa 3 of our grown kids against me with his obsessive lies.I lost 2 kids and 4 grandchildren to the evil of this person. My advice is to leave and NEVER look back.No matter what you lose you gain so much back.I'm once again ME! and I like ME!

im so sorry to hear about your story! i will keep you in my prayers and hope things for you and your family can change. best of luck to you!

I will look that up. My husband is far gone at he moment ...in his mind. He has been drinking too much (not usual) and won't be reasonable. He is crazy right now!! I am at my wits end. He wants a divorce.

He has BPD for sure.
