When to Hold On, When to Let Go: Making Tough Choices in BPD Relationships

A Compassionate Guide to Deciding What’s Best for You and Your Family

No one enters a relationship expecting to face the heart-wrenching decisions that come with BPD. Yet, for many, the question becomes unavoidable: Should I stay, leave, or change the rules? 'Stop Walking on Eggshells' offers hard-won wisdom for navigating these crossroads.

Leaving is not a failure. Sometimes, distance is necessary for your own safety and well-being. The book shares stories of families who found peace only after redefining or ending relationships. For others, new boundaries—less contact, written communication, or therapy—can transform chaos into something manageable. Support networks, from therapists to online communities, are vital allies in making these decisions. Above all, self-compassion is essential. You are not alone, and your needs matter.
