Looking for next step for (potential) BPD husband
Hello!
I am really grateful to have found this community 🙏🏼
Ive really struggled with my husbands behaviour for the last 2 years. I’ve gone through so many different emotions. From thinking I wasn’t a good person to then thinking I’m crazy to finally coming out the other side to realise I am none of those things and what is happening at home is not ‘normal’. There is intense emotional abuse directed to me (on average) every 2nd day, at one point out of 8 days 6 of those days were very abusive (each day a different reason). The longest time without an outburst or silent treatment has been 3 weeks.
It didn’t make sense to me that my husband (of 7 years) was now ‘like this’ until I came across the book ‘stop walking on eggshells’. Everything makes sense now and there is a sense of relief but also dread.
the next step for me is to find a psychologist or psychiatrist to speak to and support me.
does this community offer recommendations or a guide as to where to start looking for someone with the right qualifications?
I find it hard to get anytime to research this issue as he is always close by or sneaks up out of no where and constantly wants to know what I’m doing or where I’m going (ie leaving the room to go to the bathroom) and even walks straight into the bathroom without knocking to ‘brush his teeth’.
I feel like I’m suffocating.
