Wow, I've been thinking of this thread a lot today... .ve01603, sorry it got hijacked as it took an avenue away from your OP.
Sorry to hear you're involved with this problem. You may never know for sure unless he tells you... .at this point though it doesn't really matter, IMO. Sounds like you're going in the right direction... .away. I wish you the best!
I was very angry this morning after reading some comments in this thread, but I see it has been addressed.
I don't want to add to this other than to repeat my point above. It really doesn't matter what caused our partners or ex's BPD problem... .the facts of the matter are we need to recognize why we stayed in these situations for as long as we did and never do that again.
Simple, right?
Take care ve01603, and everybody!
