Hello to all. I'm interested in learning about a lot of stuff and have been trying to recover from the separation between my wife who has borderline personality disorder and myself who has bipolar disorder.

We have two children together 8 year old son, and 6 year old daughter - both autistic. The children and my wife are living in Holland. We moved there in 2006 from the US, because she is Dutch and we wanted to see if we could have a better life over there. And I moved back to the U.S. in 2007 a little over 2 years ago as my wife asked me to leave Holland because she wanted to end our marriage.

Anyway there's far more to come on this story, so ask away. BTW - please understand I'm not here to complain....I have a very soft spot for both people with borderline or bipolar and have done extensive research and reading over the past 12 years to try and under stand these illnesses more. I have not been able to get over my wife and would like to be able to discern how much of the love we have left is real, or due to her BPD. She has expressed that, now, after 2 years have passed, that she'd like for me to come back to Holland......honestly, I'm afraid. I was abused by her to the point of insanity, and though she seems better, I'm have a big trust issue in being with her again.

I look forward to helping and being helped to everyone here at the forums.
