What is this?
Think About It... Some members think of "triangulation" as a dysfunctional behavior perpetrated on them by a person with BPD. And why not - this is how we often see triangles when we are in them and the '"odd man out"! However, seeing it this way is exactly the opposite of what we want to do to end the drama.. ~ Skippy

Hi mitchell16 Hi!  Good for you, not taking her late night call Doing the right thing   By not responding, you're setting a great example (and boundary for yourself!), that drunk calls at that hour are unacceptable.  No response (from you), is the best response to such immature behavior.

We teach others how to treat us by what we accept; the good, the bad and the ugly...

Sounds like it was all about her, in that moment - she needed to talk to you, to make sure you were still there.  In the light of day after she sobers up, let's see if you still get an 'I'm sorry' AND an apology for calling so late.   

Don't settle for anything less Doing the right thing

Yeah, keep NC. I went for a month then broke it. What a dumb move on my part. My BPD friend turned into a monster in a week, started puting me down again, split me to black again after I refused to pay for fixing his roof and now wont answer my calls.  The only thing I got out of contact with him is he told me a few things that confirmed my suspicions about some crushes I though he moight have on two women. One was a 20 year girl that is too young for him another is an ex of his who he swore he hated when he first met me, ugh. Now I feel dumb and ashamed I let him contact me.

Sunshine...don't feel stupid or dumb for allowing him to contact you. Just keep what he did to you in your backpocket for reference when he tries to pull another contact with you.  They are disordered people. Any contact with them is going to be messed up. Lies, deceitfulness, raging, all part of what they are about. NC will save your sanity and give you the feeling of respectfulness. You deserve to be respected, not shat on ... Empathy

Mitchell,
Nothing has happened...yet! Just don't respond. It's your ego that may want to call her back and know that if you contact her you will be opening it up to get hurt again. Tell yourself that it's her way of controlling you and your not falling for it. That's worked well for me in the past. It's hard not to respond but keep the upper hand and push the delete button. You'll thank yourself in the long run.

Good luck...keep us posted!  Empathy
