The rages are crushing you… …and the accusations never cease. Being a spouse to Borderline Personality Disorder is one wild ride, but you want to stay true to your vows and support your partner. You just wish you didn’t feel so alone. Finally, there is a down and dirty “street guide” to BPD written in non-clinical, compassionate language by the spouse of a “Borderline” for the spouses of Borderlines. You can learn to identify BPD and narcissistic traits in your spouse, even if she/he refuses to be diagnosed. You can learn to understand your spouse’s logic-defying actions. With powerfully supportive reviews from therapists, spouses of BPD, and even those with BPD, this book (and the entire series) has become standard reading for all members of the BPD community. The author, Robert Page, has been through it all: weekends lost to arguments, bizarre accusations, wild mood swings, verbal and physical abuse, self-harm, suicidal threats, public embarrassment, $1,000s in related expenses, and even criminal prosecution—all because he loved his wife too much to confront the root problem: her borderline personality disorder.

Why do you think this is important? There are many books about BPD written by clinicians and scholars. And there is a growing collection of memoirs by those with BPD. But as a BPD spouse, I was looking for a real-life, compassionate book I could relate to and couldn't find one. My wife suggested, "Write books you wish someone had written for you," and that's what I've done. Since you don't have a traditional clinical background, what experts did you turn to when writing the material? Right, I do have a bachelors degree in psychology, but my masters and doctorate degrees are in the arts. I started with the classic I Hate You--Don't Leave Me from Dr. Jerold Kreisman and Hal Straus. Next was Stop Walking on Eggshells from Paul Mason and Randi Kreger. I was also quite impressed with the memoir from Merri Lisa Johnson, Girl in Need of a Tourniquet , named after a song lyric from Aimee Mann I've liked for years. From beyond the immediate realm of BDP, I looked at books from people like Martha Stout, Shahida Arabi, and Marsha Linehan with her very interesting DBT Training Skills Manual . What about the non-clinical, "down and dirty street guide" side of your writing? This is what sets my book apart from the others. I'm very willing to draw from non-traditional sources like blogs, song lyrics, and journals. This is what I think gives me credibility with readers who are truly suffering from BPD in their household. They appreciate the vivid if not cringe-inducing descriptions of what it's like to be in the midst of completely bizarre behavior. Sometimes BPD is humorous, sometimes it totally sucks, and I'm not afraid to address the entire spectrum using everyday language. What positive suggestions can you offer spouses of BPD? The first point I keep hammering at in my writing is that YOU ARE NOT ALONE! As isolated and awful as you might feel, right this minute there are thousands of people facing a similar experience. We are all kindred spirits of the same tribe eve
