Blackmail?

[Think About It...]

I remember there were multiple times I was threatened with blackmail by the BPD ex. I've read that this is fairly rare though and maybe there was another personality disorder at work. All pertains to lack of boundaries, empathy, disregard for someone else. He used to say that he would send these nude pictures that he took of me to my friends and family and post them on the Internet   he even sent me a 500 page email when I was NC of our Skype convo that he swore he would send to everyone I knew so they could know what an awful person I was and punish me accordingly. The best thing I did was NOT freak out and just ignore ignore ignore! I'm sure if I jumped on that, begging and pleading for him to respect my privacy those would be sent out. like a child, he lost interest in blackmailing when I showed little interest in his threats.

So did anyone else experience blackmail? He was going to "ruin your life" as he put? Is this BPD or a whole other personality disorder? Psychosis maybe?

     I've never had to deal with that, but it wass something that I used to worry about. When my ex was first diagnosed the local mental health recommended I read "Stop walking on eggshells" Chapter 11 is all about Lies, rumours and accusations. When I read it, it really scared the hell out of me. She never did it that I know of, but it was a concern on mine.
Sorry to hear that you had to go thru it, but my hats off to you on how well you handled it.

My BPD friend has a bunch of haters and he told me he would sick them on me if I did not give him money one time. I took him seriously on this threat, because I have seen him attack two different women on very public forums who he thought dissed him   He also told he he slept with his ex's mom to get back at her   I'm not really sure if he will do this to me or not. I am choosing to ignore his threats for now instead of threaten him back. I think he is so super paranoid that if I threaten him back it may push him over the edge.
