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.

BPDs are known for splitting\fear of abandonment\fear of engulfment. you have to understand the disorder well to know what you are dealing with. concerning splitting, i think no one can control it except for her. she will split you black in fear of engulfment and then gonna split you white in fear of abandonment.

since you said it has only been since january, i know exactly how much you are confused. my interaction was very short, fast and intense. it leaves you with confusion and uncertainty. "you are not even 100 % sure that she is BPD". i totally understand. you miss the old good days. but trust me nothing good will come out of this. what does she offer you that any healthy girl would not ? you may suffer now. i won't lie it is hard to let go but you can't imagine how much good does it feel just to be back to NORMAL without this mess, with the peace of mind even when alone. you will realize how much u did miss it. be kind to yourself. what you might force yourself to do this now, you will thank yourself for it later.

She offers nothing. She makes twice what I do, but pays no bills. I confronted her on it and she said what do you think Im here for. I felt like saying so you can lay on your butt in the bedroom, eat and watch TV

It's frustrating and painful to the heart when you feel like what you put in is met with disdain and selfishness. It doesn't validate your needs. She may be narcissistic as well. As anthony_james pointed out it's her splitting. It's not something that she has control over. It is a subconscious maladaptive coping skill, as much as you would like for the pendulum to shift to idealization, it's not under anyone's control. You are dealing with the disorder.

Peip:  Are you staying, leaving or undecided.  Cuz this is the leaving board and you will receive very different feedback on this board than the others.

If you are leaving but not really, just hoping that your wife will change with tough love, that's a very bad decision.  Tough love only triggers the Disorder.   And things will get worse. 

So if you're undecided or staying, learn the techniques to communicate. If you're leaving, then don't worry about being split good, just figure out how to detach and get clear of the Disorder. 

I know, it's tough decisions, but I used leaving techniques when I was undecided and made things worse. 

Good luck,
