Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard verdict in

[Jedi Guy]

38. My wife and mother in law both have BPD.

They can be extremely difficult to deal with, you are 100% correct. My wife put in a lot of work in therapy to get her BPD under control a few years after we met, and she's doing really well now. Her mother, on the other hand... I can't say she hasn't tried, but she resists therapy with the "I'm too old to change" thing.

I've told my wife a few times that her mother nearly destroyed our marriage. When I first moved to Canada, I was here on a visa and couldn't legally work, so we ended up sharing a home with her mother. It was awful... the constant bouts of rage and screaming and throwing stuff and just being generally shitty and vindictive.

When my immigration came through, I went back to AZ to get my car and all my stuff. The night before I was due to set out for Canada, I went into my mom's little sewing room and broke down. I had a panic attack at the thought of going back and living in that house with my mother-in-law again. I delayed my departure a few more days, but I vividly remember driving out of Tucson and weeping at the thought of being in that house again.

So I can absolutely understand and sympathize even though I only endured it for a few years. I'm so sorry you had to experience it for so long, MontanaMama.
