Dear Adrian -

I read your recent post on the VoyForum BP site, and
would like also to have a support group in Santa
Monica. My wife is the BP, undiagnosed, though
extreme in most of the DSM-IV categories and multitude
of behaviors. It is very difficult, though I am
learning a lot. Interaction with others dealing with
similar circumstances might help. I would be glad to
contribute my stories too. They're all textbook out
of Stop Walking on Eggshells and several other
BP-related resources. I am new to participating in
online "forums" like this, and so sent you this e-mail
directly. Please e-mail me at garygary2929@yahoo.com
as you get a chance, and may like to correspond or set
up a meeting with others on the VoyForum site. It
seemed like there were at least 6 or so people
replying to the Santa Monica, CA posts. I'm
definitely in. I'll look forward to hearing from you
if you'd like to communicate further.

p.s. - I also can relate to your message about
self-questioning your own behavior, though I believe
that it's more a matter of the familiarity you're
gaining from your BP significant other, that you're
very alerted to it and question any degree of it in
your own behavior. But I would be surprised if your
behavior was actually the same intensity as your
BPSO's. Remember that we are able to moderate it;
they are not. We all get angry, we all dislike
things, we all do things right and wrong. But the BP
person believes that something done wrong carries the
identification with their whole being, which is
catastrophic to them.
