Borderline Personality Disorder(BPD) is characterized by an intense fear of abandonment among other things. Inappropriate anger including fits of rage are common with black and white thinking being the protocol. If a person with BPD feels like they are being abandoned or will be, they will do just about anything to avoid the same. Can be quite irrational and intense.
I need to back up and describe events which occurred prior to our getting married. Two events in less than a weeks time and what my therapist would later describe as going through a war zone. I've talked about this with very few people in my life other than a therapist.
In the middle of the night my wife called me(was living with Miss BPD) more than a little upset and difficult to understand. I finally understand her to say she hoped I was happy, that my daughter had tried to kill herself! She had caught her slicing her arms with a knife. My girl's best friend had moved away to New York and I had moved away to BPD land. She did not want to live anymore.
