• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

My wife has BPD after 25 year it's nice to know why she acts this way. Have I missed it or is there no specific suport forum on here for others in my predicament? when talking with those who haven't been there they don't get it. non Christians who do understand assume I have battered husband syndrom and tell me to leave. God tells me to stay and I will untill he releases me, but it's not easy sometimes. For the record it's not all bad I love my wife dearly and I have been blessed through our marriage. God specificaly told me He will take care of this His way,in His time. I just need somewhere to turn for Godly suport in the hard times.
thanks,
Cory

My husband left me after 25 years of marriage. I had improved, but not enough for him.

There is a book for family members. "Stop Walking on Eggshells" by Randi Kreger. Check it out.

I also suggest you seek individual therapy for yourself. It will help you work through any feelings that may be coming up in you, as you deal with your wife's behavior.

Warmly,
Trish

Madison,
thank you for your responce I'm afraid my responce may have seemed a little flip I was in a hurry and wanted to make my position somewhat clear in few words. I apologize if I came off poorly. The eggshells book has been a lifesaver and well I need more counceling but I also need the prayers of others who understand.
Peace in Christ,
Cory

I do understand your situation, however I wish I had some kind of encouragement to give you, but I don't. I am afraid I haven't been around long enough to have anything credible to say. I will keep you in mind in my prayers.

Yes, my main thing has been to find some sort of "community" for BPD and the people who love them...especially with a Christian focus. That is an element that IS definitely a major part of our lives, and it is nice to be able to openly talk about God and his mercy, grace, and love to get thru all of this.
