Lessons from a ten year marriage during the 1970s before much was known about personality disorders or the Borderline Personality Disorder in particular. This autobiographical story documents the entire relationship from falling in love to the final breakup and the aftermath. With virtually no help from therapists, the author had to find his way through the anger and maze of his wife's mental condition. He wanted to find a healthy way to leave his marriage but at the same time not damage him or his wife in the process.

      Even if you understand BPD behaviors, you need to know your own limits and stick by them — don’t ever allow yourself to be abused.
      Realize that sometimes the only thing you can do is leave the relationship when your loved one repeatedly runs over your limits or when your loved one refuses treatment.

        passivity is The Kiss of Death in any relationship with a Borderline. This principle holds true for therapists who treat individuals with BPD, as well. Quite simply, they need firm limits and boundaries
