I know it’s a huge challenge to extricate ourselves from involvement with a BPD.
I won’t list all the reasons why it’s so difficult – we already know.
But at the end of the day we are going to stronger, smarter and happier than we
ever were - even before the whole BPD experience! And every step of the way
on this journey we a
growing
and these thoughts are enough to put
a big smile on my dial
Bring it on!

Good on ya, Mate!
By the way, I really loved the little allegorical story you wrote on another thread about the girl on the sailboat. I have thought of that several times since then as it is just silly enough to point up the complete absurdity of all our BPD relationships and our reactions to them. For me, being able to laugh about something that seems otherwise so incredibly serious is extremely empowering. Thanks for the help!

Almost seven months out of my r/s of 10 yrs... .
The last months I've learned more about myself then in the rest of my life.
The last months I've learned more about my own path to growth and (possible) happiness then in the rest of my life.
The last months I've learned more about other people then in the rest of my life.
The last months I've learned more about what I seek in other people then in the rest of my life.
I'm sure that the coming months will bring more joy!

G’day Lao Tzu
Glad you enjoyed the ‘little allegorical story’.
So, I take it you’re interested in buying a cheap boat. Well, I tell you what - this is
your lucky day and at this knockdown price it’s an absolute steal. How would you
like to pay for that? – Cash, cheque or credit card?

Aussie Bloke I loved that story too. am also Aussie. Got a Facebook message from a guy I know about boats for auction with a one dollar reserve. I thought if I could pick. one up I would take it off the coast somewhere knock a big hole in it and watch it go down.
