I Married a Man With Borderline Personality Disorder

Ready, Set, Go!

By: monalisahasbpd

Step 1:
I realise that things will never change and that my daughter's quiet and innocent eyes are always on me...learning.
(Check!)

Step 2:
I decide to leave because nothing that I tried has worked and I am tired of feeling like I have abandoned myself. My daughter and me are worth 1000 of him. I also realise that no matter how peaceful I will try to make it, a borderline hates peace and he'll probably be screaming at the top of his lungs for the neighbours to hear what a bad wife, mother, etc. I am. So, I might as well treat him as the piece of cr*p he is, and just leave him - that's probable the most (personal) joy I will get out of this entire episode.
(Check!)

Step 3:
I must have a day to work towards. I have a date in mind - just around the corner...I can already smell the fresh air..!
(Check!)

Step 4:
This is where I am...what next..? Will I be able to hang onto my job? Will I be able to support myself? Will the ignorance of those who joined in on my abuse catch up with me..? I guess I'll just have to find out...
