Bpd Ex acting NORMAL?

I know that BPD's can not "act normal" for long. But, I feel as though my ex is up to something, or just bat butter crazy.
Background info: We have a son together who he has never asked to be seen ever. He has done all sorts of crazy things to me & my family. Attempting to kill himself, and me in a car for breaking up with him. Stealing money from my myself and my mom. Harassing me and my family with calls during my grandmas passing. (I told him that I was not going to be able to talk to him via email due to grieving and funeral prep for my grandma who had no life insurance. He percieved me saying that as... .I was fleeing the country with our son or something. He left email after email, called my parents. Claiming he didnt have any contact with me, and that he wanted to go to court to get visitation so his family could see the baby. He threatend to have "his people come find me" All kinds of stuff) then after I set him straight, weeks later he calls me ssaying he happened to find my number on his calling list. Asking me if I needed anything like we were friends. I have hung up on him twice and am quite bold, and blunt when talking to him, because his good guy act bugs me. How long will he keep this fresh attitude. He is low functioning from my research. Any experience with this?

Maybe he suddenly needs attention. Maybe his new lover just broke up with him? Maybe he's been kicked out of a house or lost a job - sounds like he's recycling.

Both my exs act as if im their friend. I think its more to do with them not wanting us to think be thought bad of.
Having people think bad of them reinforces their own self loathing.
