BPD and children

My BPD wife and I were angry with our sister in law , a nurse, when she told us we were crazy to contemplate having a child.
How could she be so cruel to even think such a thing ? We wanted a child so much and my wife was such an 'exception' to the 'typical' BPD.
My wife was a very intelligent person with a degree in physiotherapy and had an unusual insight into her illness.
She had also (finally!) found a psychiatrist who was an expert with BPD.
Despite her many struggles , she was a wonderful mother to our son... until he was ten years old , when she suicided.
Suicide is the worst kind of child abuse.
My sister in law was right.

The intent is irrelevant.
The end result is a child abandoned by his mother.
That's the real life fact. Tweet
