hi hubba
it is challenging living with a person with mental health disorders. i applaud you for not discriminating or judging. i also understand you "fear". there is a book called stop walking on eggshells by a guy with the last name mason. it will help you understand living with someone with bpd. check in your area and see if there is a local NAMI group. you can go to NAMI.org and clikc on your state to find out. they have support groups and classes to help you understand mental health issues. finally, and this one may seem a bit odd and daunting, go to a local domestic violence shelter and find out what you need to do to be prepared and keep yourself safe, develop a safety plan for if things get out of hand when he explodes. im not saying it is going to go that route, but you said you were afraid, it is best to be prepared. take care. welcome to psych central. you will find we have several forums where you can post about your concerns and receive feedback from other members. you will get a lot of support here. again, welcome

Family counseling would be my suggestion. With his diagnosis, what steps towards recovery is he taking?

Welcome to Psych Central. Sorry you are afraid in the relationship that could be or become abusive. A safety plan that you have in place in case things get out of hand is important. One person learned they could not talk back or touch the person when they got out of control to minimize the outbreak. Here is a link about dealing with or getting out of abusive relationships.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
