What is your sexual orientation: Straight

I can except the breakup, the replacement (the follow day), the cruel spiteful treatment and even the smear campaign. What really eerks my soul is the fact that she acts like our (16 month old) daughter is a total burden. As she did while we were together, she refuses to wake up with our daughter and has even had a fist fist with her (BPD) mother over it. He mother has always wanted to raise out daughter from the start and made comments like: "I'll do a better job raising her than I did my kids, it's my chance to get it right" & " my daughter can't even take care of herself how can she take care of a baby" I've never liked her mother as she's always put my ex down, undermined our relationship and made some ridiculous statements in the past but now I'm actually grateful at least she is helping with the baby.

I suppose I'm at yet another stage of healing... .

My inner dialog the previously consisted of: oh my, why me. how can she do this to our family, how can she not feel bad, I miss her, I love her,

has been replaced with: I love my daughter more than anything in this world and I better my life with relentless determination, not sleep and get all my ducks in order so I can give her the stable life she deserves.

There's a point I came to the realization my ex is stuck. BPD is emotional arrested development and she reminds me of my toddler. If he is frustrated, dad doesn't understand what he's trying to communicate he has a tantrum. It's something she has no realization of.

I think it's a multitude of things with her, pressure from her mom, not being ready to be a mother, feeling she still wants to be young and party, the loss of her BFF to another friend who actually treats her better and the stress of being an adult. I've even considered she associates our daughter with me and it almost upsets her to see her. If we were to have broken up and she was focused on bettering herself, being a good mother and having her fun on the days I have our daughter it would be a different story. The bottom line is she's struggling and no one seems to care or even notice but me.

Sadly I'm starting to not care either, disorder or not she knows what she's doing and needs to be responsible for her actions.

They're enablers. I'm sorry I don't have pity if she's too young and partying is more important. It's selfish and the Queen has narcissistic traits and life does not orbit around her needs. It orbits around 18 month daughter. That is reality.

I've often seen Narcissistic traits in her but it puzzles me why she would be content with a guy much less attractive, with much less to offer and seemingly not even her type? She has been seeing him since the day after we broke up (perhaps even before) and expect me to "get over it" but when she saw a picture of me and a girl (just a friend) at the park with our daughter she flipped out. My ex is like a walking contradiction that is beyond hypocritical. I know she isn't that far detached from reality, I know her disorder isn't that bad because she's able to hide it for months on end. It's just difficult to believe she is acting out in this way still. It's like she created a whole different reality in her head to sooth her damaged soul. Eventually it will catch up with her.

Its not about that man... .I guarantee you what I offered[and probably you too] mine and would do (I would literally go work at McDonalds if she needed every dime I had, and while I couldn't then live the lifestyle I'd been living, I'd know why I did it and be ok) will outpace anyone she will meet in our part of the state, hands down there will be no equal in that department.

But I honestly believe that when they bump into caring people and not S* heads where they can't throw their arms up and play the victim they then seek not to find someone better as us NONs would do, or self improve, self introspection. They seek to find that role that is comfortable which can easily allow them to play the victim roll, where as with us giving and genuine people they really can't do that Laugh out loud (click to insert in post).  I guarantee you she's got some people and family members like mine probably do who see her writing stuff like "I need a loving dependable bf" and are just thinking UMM okkk Laugh out loud (click to insert in post).

The one thing I'm glad I'm doing is not looking at my replacement wondering why is he better (because he's not)... I'm sad I didn't get an opportunity to work with her more and try and help her having been on this site, I'm sad I'll never know if she's safe or cared for or just being used, I'm sad she doesn't have someone who would give her anything she needed to be successful... .But I am not sad by her replacing me or bragging how perfect he is 3-4weeks later, because those decisions are made with no logic, no facts, nothing but impulse and sickness.


I'd just keep telling your daughter this, and yourself. If you know you did it right and while you made mistakes like any normal person, then it isn't on you bud.

I agree with Dangithurts. It's difficult when you're family is torn apart when you're triangulated with another man. It hurts.

At the end of the day, you can only do your best.

I'm not above the disorder, nor can I fix it. It's beyond what I can do as a person. I had no answers but one. I asked god to watched after her, I let go and let god. I'm speaking from my beliefs and faith and everyone on this site is of different beliefs and faiths. She has her own path and I have my own path with the kids.
