BPD

BPD

Hi I am a mother of a 30 year old man whose GP says has BPD. He is highly intelligent but unstable at times with substance abuse. He has seen Psychiatrists in the past and says they are useless and refuses to go again.He seems to display many of the symptoms of BPD.

The current problem is that he has recently focused in on me and is verbally bullying and persecuting me. I just dont know the best way to responnd. If I withdraw he attacke me for not being there for him. If i try to support I am stoping him being independant. This behaviour has been going on for some months and I feel exhausted.

His father is not being targeted and says to stay away from him, but I am attacked either way. I try not to respond to the abuse because it causes it to esculate, but it is hard to be vilified in this way.He also demands money, We are not young and dont have a lot of money.

Does anyone have any advice for me on the best way to deal with this situation. It is affecting our marriage which has always been solid.

Re: BPD

Hi @Hobbit

I had a look at the link you posted, it seems more angled towards carers, perhaps you accidently, included me in the thread?
