Has anyone divorced a BPD person? I need some tips on how to handle this or to even start this. I have a kid, so this is my biggest concern. The spouse is in denial of having BPD and wasn’t diagnosed but it is very clear that he is. Any advice will help me. Thank you

I haven’t but my sister has BPD, and I know it’s very rough to love someone w the disorder. I recommend the book “Stop Walking on Eggshells”, I refer back to it a lot and it addresses romantic relationships
