We've dated for over 4 years. His daughter is very manipulative, threatens suicide, lies, and creates constant drama and chaos. My boyfriend is constantly trying to "fix" her and rushes to her rescue. Sometimes we can't get through a date, a vacation, a holiday or even a simple week without her creating issues. It has smothered our relationship and while I've been patient, and counselors have been involved, the situation has not changed. I love him, but the quality of our relationship has suffered. Our relationship is stuck and it is suffering and while we would like to get married, we can't under these circumstances. I've also told him I will not live under the same roof as her. That wouldn't solve the bigger picture but it is a firm boundary I've set. I feel our relationship is coming to an end which makes me sad. He is very good to me and my son, but the drama is just too much and he engages with her every time. His daughter was diagnosed with BPD about 6 months ago. She is 17. What advice can you offer? Can he and I have a normal relationship?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
