I'm not new but my account got erased for non activity.Just curious as to how many of you deal with this combination. My wife is most likely a borderline as she has most of the symptoms including the upbringing but she is highly deeply and even delusionally religious. I saw elsewhere that magical thinking is part of the disorder so I see how it fits . Currently whenever she sees a pastor blaming the woman's unhappiness on the man online she will send me the videoclip.. she's a stay at home mom and I am a truck driver so of course I have abandoned her and my family.. we are drowning in debt today we were at buccees and she pointed out the sign showing they were hiring not so she could get a job there but so I could apply for a management position because "you've done that before".. and no I've never been a manager..  but apparently every issue we have is due to me sinning or "not being in place"

Borderline can be complicated to be sure.  Abandonment issues are very typical with them and your absences are likely triggering.

There is a toolbox on this site that has tool that will help. 

The debt is a tough place to be when the economy is tightening up.  I would encourage you to make tough decisions now and not later of there any cuts or other measures, and changes that might take the pressure off.

Life is heard enough, Sorry you have to deal with a PD in the mix.

Religious abuse is never nice.  I just decided this week to leave a church because I feel like the culture there is abusive in trying to nudge the membership into accepting so modern ways of looking at morality and sin and gender roles and such.

I hope you can separate the abuse from your faith and your personal spiritual journey.
