I told you this goddamn phone call was going to do something to get this inner turmoil going.
Now, since I found out that BPDs and NPDs form the perfect union, I did some internet research on NPD and I am OFFICIALLY a NPD because I was with my ex for 14 years!
... . and here we go... .
Well, waking up today, and it really isn't that bad. I don't have NPD, I may have mirrored her NPD traits that accompanied her BPD; but I do have a genuine care and respect for other people and their feelings. I don't lack empathy.
4 days before x mas (I knew about a replacement by then) she told my mother that she wanted a RS with me like my mother and father had after their divorce. My mother/father were healthy people and got along well. It was a "set up" to keep me around to see if her and joe millionaire didn't work out... . I KNOW THIS!
Immediately after hearing that, I told my mother/her father that I was done, and that I NEVER wanted to see her again, NC, no text, no nothing. She didn't exist. There would never be a relationship like my mother/my father had after their divorce.
Since then, with the help of all of you on this board, I have been strict NC and radio silence.
Last night my mother reminded her about me not wanting to have any kind of RS with her, I called her dad and reiterated that to him, as well... . She went off. Got very angry, talked in circles, lied, and the list goes on and on. Even made it sound like the whole NC, no relationship, no anything in the future was her idea (that one made me laugh), maybe mirroring? Her house of cards built on sand is falling apart, and I know it. Maybe things aren't that great with Joe Millionaire and she had to find ANY excuse to call us... . ?
I know she still cares bc she is angry, I know she didn't take time and heal from a 14 year RS with me and put a band aid on her deep wounds with Joe Millionaire, I know she is bringing all this dysfunction with her, I know this is how it will be no matter what face she tries to portray to the public or him, I know she is sick now and I DO feel bad for her, but I also know, and best of all... .
I really don't care anymore... .
thank you everyone for the past 3 weeks... . I needed you guys like never before, but the show must go on... .
