Hello!
My name's Kendyll and my husband's name is Jon. He's got DID and I've got BPD/DDNOS/SchizotypalPD.
I've been sober for over ten years and he's been sober for 18 months continuous (much longer with slips). We are partners and friends and recovery buddies, both working toward a happy, healthy life, moving forward as best we can every day. I like reading what you wrote because it sounds like you get it...some people think it's hard to have a good relationship when both people have "issues" but it doesn't have to be bad. If both people want to improve, to remedy things that don't work so well inside, it can be a wonderful source of strength. Sharing the journey is easier with someone who understands.
(we are in trouble when we both have bad days together, but we get better with practice and time)
