Hi Falcon,

I've been diagnosed with having Paranoid Personality -traits.(however-- I do question this....) The thing I think is that most people don't just have ONE disorder but a cross section of a few.... so it's my opinion and observation that a person with PPD coupled with Narcissistic Personality Disorder can be a whole different ballgame than one with PPD and Avoidant Personality Disorder.

If you can, I would suggest looking into what other traits she may have.... that might help you to better understand how-- and what her struggles are.

Believe me-- you and your daughters aren't the only ones suffering-- your wife, I bet, is suffering so much more than most will ever imagine. Not meaning that she's blameless but anyone with a disorder truly needs compassion and understanding more than the average person.

I know of a sight that has many members that are significant others to a parnter that is PPD or might be PPD. I left that sight as I felt it to be too demeaning towards me and my struggles-- but you might find it helpful...... just PM me if you are interested and I'll give you the link.....

Good luck to you.
