People who suffer with BPD tend to hurt those who care for them the most.
and Did I learn that! Not trying to date her again but I care about her well-being. Use to refer to her as wifey.
she will decide when it's time to get help.
Hope so but I know for a fact she she's in denial about the harm in it. Tried making a bit of a comment in regards to it when i witness it. My ex was completely dismissive. Said its not that bad.
Don't let her perception of you shape who you are as a person.
Unfortunately it did, bc bruises hurt, but they also heal. I should know.
Devaluation is a defense mechanism, and like so many other dm' s it is difficult to accept and understand.
Had more of a fight accepting than understanding. My head & heart are finally working together. Doesn't mean I won't remember her. doesn't mean I can't still care.
'preciate the encouraging words.
