HR,

There are Dept. of Education grants you may qualify for. I used those & loans to get through college a long time ago. It's still alive and kicking. It's more generous now than a few decades ago.

I am back at work after a long absence due to the late GIDXH's meltdown during the divorce.  I used coursera.org ($40/month)  to update my skills. They have a wide variety of self-paced university level courses.  As long as you pay the monthly fee, the course is open indefinitely. COVID placed almost all learning online. www is open 24/7 :-)

Reddit has a support group for partners/loved ones of those with BPD.  Another resource is NAMI (National Alliance for the Mentally Ill). I've attended meetings online and in person.  Others are NEA BPD and McLean Hospital Gunderson Center for online programs to support BPD family members.   This is not an exhaustive list.

That is incredibly helpful information, thank you! I’m going to avoid Reddit though, he spends a lot of time on there.
