VIDEO: "What is parental alienation?" Parental alienation is when a parent allows a child to participate or hear them degrade the other parent. This is not uncommon in divorces and the children often adjust. In severe cases, however, it can be devastating to the child. This video provides a helpful overview.

What is your sexual orientation: Straight

So I broke up with uBPDex fiance 4/2 and had been getting messages from him every so often asking me how I'm doing and how the baby is doing (I'm pregnant with his baby) and to tell me he loves me still. Last time I heard from him was 4/26 and he was still telling me he loves me and the baby and that he is determined to get mental help and he will prove to everyone that he can make up to me everything that has gone wrong in our past relationship. It was a long talk and he ended it with he still wants to talk to me every so often because he needs me in his life whether were together or not.  Well it has been the longest we have ever gone without contact all the way up until today he texted me simply to tell me this is his new number, and my reply was "okay". And that was that.  I was surprised that there was no I love you, hope you're doing well, hows the baby doing, etc. I don't know if I should expect him to disappear and move on or if he was giving me his number because he intends to hit me up when the baby is born. I don't know what to think! Any opinions?

I would have no idea all we would be doing here is speculating or assuming.  He let you know his new number for sure because he wants to stay in contact with you, since you are having his baby that is normal whether he has BPD or not. 

If you are sure he does or know it, I still don't know what to read from it aside from he is trying to keep in touch.

My exBPDgf I told yesterday our son has a diaper rash, today without asking she texts me a paragraph on some stuff she is using and its working better.  I replied with one sentence "Good to hear its getting better".  She called at 4:50 PM and ironically my phone went to VM without ringing.  I have not called back or heard from her since.

Symptoms of the disorder include an unstable sense of self and intense emotions, and since you broke up with him he's probably feeling abandoned, which is triggering.  Put all that together and it makes him thoroughly unpredictable; you might have seen that before?

In any case, better to focus on you, your baby and a future without him.  He may show up, he may not, if he's feeling badly and needs soothing he may turn to you as if nothing ever happened between you, if he's lacking attachments he may contact you to see if one is still in place with you, which will make him feel better if it is.  Good move on the short, sweet reply BTW.  Trying to figure our where he's at emotionally and mentally is like trying to figure out where a gum wrapper went in a hurricane, and will only drive you crazy.  Take care of you!
