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.

Dear lovely souls !
I stumbled upon this site and as I can see genuine support here hence registered . I am hoping you all are shining bright .

So here is a situation . I meet my ex feb 2022, she quickly became a part of my life and things were fantastic . In the initial 3 months she would randomly ghost me and even blocked me ,which i didn't even realise as I wasn't fully into her .long story short she was disrespecting towards my friends and me , which i straightened her up instantly .things went well after that and she walked in with me then one day suddenly she was gone with all her stuff early morning .I sent her a msg hoping shez good and I am here if she needs to speak , she came to speak and things were fine as she said it's her inner turmoil . Then she kept driving around with stuff in her car for a week . I being me asked her to take the stuff in and take it easy . She then came in and stayed for 2 weeks but wanted to change everything in my villa .I resisted for some and I agreed for some .it was chaotic hence I suggested she lives separate and we continue to grow together . She agreed and then we were fine , she traveled to her home country and went silent , she came back and told her that she is the woman of my life ....  damn the he'll broke after that .... continously fights and discard . She broke up with me and I blocked her to which she showed up at my house at night 3 am . I ask her to leave and sent her a msg not to show up at my house unannounced and blocked her.  We got back together after 40 days of my personal healing and agreed that there is love and we shall work it on .  During all this time I wasn't even aware of BPD .
Although I did tell her that I give only 3 chances . Things were going smooth but with some chaos here and there, anger and explosion with her children sometimes but at the same time she showed a lot of maturity etc.
Then comes the second time , she says she loves me but can't be with me and that she respects me a lot as a man of value integrity and love.  The second time stayed away for 60days and this time she really was honest ( I still didn't know BPD).  Well got back and I could see that she has something wrong , something wasn't right , my gut would say there is something wrong somewhere .
And she came back with a msg that I am the man of his life and she can't even think of anyone else ; from here if it's not me then it's not going to be any other man.she is done .
Following this it stayed for a little 2 weeks before her chaotic behaviour started and she was almost attacking me for my views etc.  I didn't let my values down but was humble in understand her views on any subject .she wanted to control my opinions and values but I was very strict and didn't let that touch me . 
Long story short she then kept saying she doesn't wants to be with me but I am a good guy , I deserve someone better etc etc etc  .by now I told her I love you the way you are and I think she got more distant . She then broke up the third time and blocked me everywhere for a month , I was heartbroken but then life has to go on ...I started living my life the way I lived .she came back to me saying she can't do this and offered friendship which I rejected as I had romantic feelings about her I can either be in relationship or else I am gone I don't do this being friends business after breakup.told her to consider me dead . Anyways this situation continued for 3 months of I want and I don't want  but most of the time she kept saying she doesn't wants to be in a relationship .so this time I wanted to speak to her after her silent treatment saying we can move forward with or without but with proper conversation like adults.she responded with ( everything is being said and done what else do you want to know?  ) but she was respectful  and polite .... I then gave up as I was hurt and she called to speak to respect my desire  but by that time I was too hurt many a times and told her ... let's keep it the way it is , if universe  has something then it will manifest , if not then it is what it is .
Since then she traveled the next day and I kept silent , she sent a couple of messages to meet after she came back but I didn't replied, she came to my house but I wasn't there ( thank God) . Then she wrote me an apology and accountability  letter stating she acted out of her trauma , she loves me deeply , she was self sabotaging and she is now aware she has worked on herself and ready for the womanhood and taking full responsibility and accountability of her role in our relationship , appreciating my values and I am a honorable man etc . (I might later share the letter here , I am very new here and still discovering this mental disorder and trying to comprehend . 
So after the letter and still my silence she wrote me a msg ( we may not speak again in physical but in spiritual you the one who loves me the most .the highest grade .you are a true warrior who  protected her queen  .you will always be remembered for what you have done for me and my children . Thank you ) .
And then she made her profile on insta private , deleted following and stayed silent .
I can see that she is a human too and have compassion. I heard from my sister there was a discussion about me and someone was saying something about me but she intervene and stop them and said . He is a good man , it's me and my shadows which played the role . On other occassion I heard she said I have a good heart .

But but but she has a new partner now . I havnt even solved the mystery yet , and was still hopefully. Wanted to send her a msg of acknowledgement for her efforts to write the letter , reaching out and i appreciate and want leave it to that msg and continue my journey .
And to be honest I love her . She is a very aware woman but it seems she herself is struggling with her own disorder , she had been honest .
So here i am confused and in dilemma. Just need your insights .

I want to thank you in advance for your time to read

Hi True warrior, thanks for sharing your situation. So many members here will understand what you're going through, and how it can be confusing and difficult to know what is a wise path forward.

This part of your post stood out to me:

So after the letter and still my silence she wrote me a msg ( we may not speak again in physical but in spiritual you the one who loves me the most .the highest grade .you are a true warrior who  protected her queen  .you will always be remembered for what you have done for me and my children . Thank you ) .
And then she made her profile on insta private , deleted following and stayed silent .
I can see that she is a human too and have compassion. I heard from my sister there was a discussion about me and someone was saying something about me but she intervene and stop them and said . He is a good man , it's me and my shadows which played the role . On other occassion I heard she said I have a good heart .

But but but she has a new partner now . I havnt even solved the mystery yet , and was still hopefully. Wanted to send her a msg of acknowledgement for her efforts to write the letter , reaching out and i appreciate and want leave it to that msg and continue my journey .
And to be honest I love her . She is a very aware woman but it seems she herself is struggling with her own disorder , she had been honest .

The parts I highlighted above seem to tell this story:

(After the two of you were together for about 2 years, with ups and downs):
she writes to you that she thinks you two probably won't speak again physically
she says a gracious "thank you for everything and goodbye"
she sets her social media to private and goes quiet
she has a new relationship
you are feeling a desire to reach out with your own message to her

To me, that story is certainly sad -- any time a relationship ends, it is a loss, and a real loss to grieve -- and it is, remarkably, one of the kindest, most obvious and clear-cut "ending" stories I've seen here.

It certainly makes sense to me that you loved her and still feel love for her. Based on her actions while breaking up, she seems to have kind qualities. Of course you cared for her, and appreciated those things about her. BPD relationships aren't all negative, for sure.

It does seem unambiguous to me, from this side of the computer screen, that she was pretty clear about being done and moving on.

I wonder if the best way to honor what the two of you had together, would be to respect her clear message, value it for the gift that it is, and honor her memory by "letting her" have the closing word?

Hard to say -- but my suspicion is that there is something you still want or need or feel like you want to hear or be acknowledged from her. If she's in a new relationship, old partners showing up with needs might not land very well. Not replying is sounding like the strong move right now, though if you did choose to send something, if you were asking me what to say, I'd probably suggest very brief, and very like her tone: "Thank you so much for your kind message and for all the good you brought to my life. I wish you all the best in you journey forward. Warmly, True warrior"

The feeling of wanting to solve the mystery is your feeling, not hers, to manage. It may be uncomfortable... but it's a path you can choose to set out on, on your own -- holding that kind "thank you and goodbye" in your heart, not needing her to do or be anything else for you, finding the closure and answers you seek, inside of yourself, where they probably are hidden.

Lots of stuff to think about... anything resonating with you?

Above all, I wonder if you can create time in your life to grieve the ending of those dreams, and put them to rest. With kindness, and gratitude, and finality, and strength.
