[quote=Anonymous]It isn't the same thing, but I had a friend who attempted suicide, was diagnosed with BPD, and whose husband then filed for divorce and told her she couldn't return to their family home and could only see the kids with supervised visits. She had a ton of resources--all the therapies money could buy, a strong family behind her, but this was her husband's line in the sand and he would not relent. At one point she begged me to let her move in with us--she was so lonely living alone, she said, and she just wanted the company. I turned her down because I realized as much as I sympathized, maybe even empathized with her situation, I didn't trust her not to jump out a window and I didn't want to expose my own child to the risk of that trauma. It's a decision that will always haunt me because a year later she did kill herself. I don't think I could have stopped it--obviously--or even helped, but I might have had more time with my friend.
