Dreams Descending

Dean Burton is not an author per se, but a man who felt compelled to tell his story. After meeting an intriguing woman on the Internet, who would later become his wife, he began a relationship that started out with promise and slowly turned into a nightmarish dysfunctional dance. Over time, his wife's emotional outbursts and abusive behavior led him to discover that she most likely suffered from borderline personality disorder, or BPD. His reasons for staying in such a hopeless relationship would eventually lead him to discover his own emotional deficiencies. DREAMS DESCENDING…MY JOURNEY TO THE BORDERLINE AND BACK is an honest, albeit harrowing chronicle of an extremely chaotic period in the author's life, but ultimately a story of survival and self-discovery. Burton's memoir was partially compiled from a collection of journal entries, emails, blogs, voice messages, and tape recordings, as well as his own remembrances. “Dean Paul Burton has encapsulated—in all its pain, confusion and horror—the experiences of a partner to someone with borderline personality disorder.”Lynn MelvilleAuthor, Breaking Free from Boomerang Love
