I was just diagnosed in September, I am 44. I KNOW that I have had BPD for much longer, probably could have been diagnosed at 16. I got married at 32 and although we have our issues (not including my MIL) I am still very much in love and attached to my husband. It is possible. Easy? No, but you already know that. There is hope and you are lucky to have been diagnosed early so you can learn coping skills.
