getting started

Why this and why now?  Well, my silence hasn't gotten me very far, but I fear speaking up could cost me what I've been able to salvage this far.  Two years out of a relationship with someone with a borderline personality and I'm still afraid of tipping the boat.  So maybe this will help.  It seems important to own my experience, but for now anonymity in my small circle seems safe.  There's still so much in the air and I know at any minute it could all come toppling down upon me.  Little by little, post by post, maybe I'll demystify my experience for myself, make sense of the crazy, and rebuild my confidence and sense of self.
