The thing with me is, I don't get very angry. I've been out of my mind frustrated, but not very angry.
She's an injured, damaged person. I don't want to cause more injury to her. I'm serious when I say I love her. There were traces of this always, but it got a lot worse in recent years.
In fact, it worsened both with alcohol and with her ADD medication, which a BPD person is not supposed to take.
Like I was saying.... Injured, in pain, damaged. But I can't let her draw us all down again.
Boundaries, defense but no offense. I think that's my path.
Thanks everyone.

You mentioned something important in this post. ADD is not the same as NPD and it’s important not to confuse it with other disorders.
I have seen people decide their ADHD partner is a narcissist and go on and on about being “the victim” when ADHD and NPD are not the same.
