What should you expect from the process of divorcing a spouse with borderline personality disorder in Louisville? What are some of the behaviors you should expect and need to have strategies to manage in each step of your divorce?
Divorcing a spouse with borderline personality disorder in Louisville is going to bring out and at times exaggerate the symptoms you have noticed throughout your marriage. Those with borderline personality disorder are more likely to lash out in explosive and argumentative anger during a divorce. Passive-aggressive behavior will be deployed in an attempt to control the situation as much as possible (though in many cases your former spouse will actually have little control over the process itself).
They want the process to be all about “them.” The need to experience not only your attention, but ironically acceptance and approval can actually be beneficial, especially during negotiations and mediation.
