About this audiobook

This morning they told you that you were the best thing that ever happened to them. By dinner you were the worst person they had ever met, and you still don't know what you did. You've started rehearsing sentences in the car, checking their face before you check your own feelings, and reading forum threads at night that tell you either to run or to love harder. Neither tells you what to do the next time it happens. Dating Someone With BPD: How to Handle Splitting, Support a Partner or Spouse With Borderline Personality Disorder, Set Boundaries Without Blowups, Protect Your Own Mental Health, and Decide Whether to Stay or Leave is written for you, the person on the other side of the split. Most books about borderline personality disorder are written for the person with the diagnosis, or for clinicians. This one is for partners, whether you're dating, living together, or married. It doesn't demonize the person you love, and it doesn't ask you to accept abuse as a symptom. It gives you plain explanations, words that work in the moment, and an honest way to decide what comes next. Inside, you'll learn: You can care deeply about someone with BPD and still protect yourself.
