Holy shit!!! I was doing some role playing with Mara (I’ll explain in a subsequent post) because she has/had BPD and was really shitty to her ex. 8.5 months later she finally realized that she was the problem and approached him for reconciliation.
They tried but she’s felt he wasn’t really into it and that he was trying only to honor their relationship but that he would never trust her the way he had before she got so abusive that she forced him to leave.
I won’t go through all of the details of the conversation here (again subsequent post coming) but she asked me to really look into the experiences of people with BPD instead of the medical literature and try to see the human side of things.
I came across the video above and at the 7:43 mark I had to stop the video because I thought “holy shit!!! That describes M and my interactions with her almost to a T!!”
