BPD. If that is your wife's diagnosis, then look at Gunderson at Mclean hospital.

I would steer clear of social workers, they are very spotty about diagnosis and care (some are great but lots have just dealt with drug addicts and the like which i suspect are a different issue than you are dealing with).

Find a highly trained, experienced therapist, maybe one who works with the psychiatrist closely.  They can help coordinate to find the right medication if dealing with bipolar or major depression.

I definitely appreciate your anger. Her solution was to leave the pain and mess of life to you and her child.  I don't know her underlying issue, but you need to be sure you enforce boundaries and look out for the welfare of your child and your self.  She has already chosen to look out for herself first (by trying to escape her pain rather than face it head on); hopefully she will work with you to come back and do the necessary work. But don't be afraid to set distance if you think she is not making good faith efforts or is harming you or your child.[/quote]
