I love the quote - worth suffering for - and I suppose in dealing with Pd's we never really know that. Most probably they have had experienced abuse or suffering in childhood which has created their personality disorder - and for that I feel so sad - but now with their personality entwined in their own personality how self-aware are they - what is their capacity to love and empathise - it may not be their fault - but can we cope with the fall out. Sometimes I think I stay with my partner because I see all the good things - and all things he could have been - his potential and when things are good I couldn't want for more at least not until he turns on me and his behaviour changes and he is abusive and raging and hurtful - that is the test - and then is it worth the suffering!?
