Your Partner And Your Sibling With Borderline Personality Disorder
It can be hard on him; give him a break
When your partner is fully on board and understands the situation—once he’s been present for some of your sibling’s worst episodes—you might see him start to get tired and stressed. You and your family are used to this level of turbulence. You’ve lived with it all of your sibling’s life. But it’s new to your partner. Tell him it’s okay if he needs to just go take some time to himself. Maybe he needs to sit out this Friday’s family dinner. That’s alright.
