Re: BPD...they don't want it?

[Guest guest]

and Doug, I think as we go through our journey of loving a person with BPD

we go through different phases for example maybe anger, peace, pain, or

understanding, we feel differently about our loved one with BPD at different

times. I think maybe you are able to understand each other but view this

slightly different right now because you both may be walking the same path, but

just not quite on the same spot of the journey. LB
