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.

I wonder, if you could get 1 thing from ur ex, what would it be?

I would opt for that coffee, to talk about the past like adults. And try to have a few questions answered.

hmm, so i should say that i don't "want" these things because they aren't going to happen  Smiling (click to insert in post). but if she didn't have so many issues, it would be nice to hear an apology for lying and trying to smear me to mutual friends. and also would be nice for her to stop gaining a reputation as a ho-- Being cool (click to insert in post) sorry about that--but i'm not saying this  Smiling (click to insert in post) it's terribly embarrassing for me in fact which is why i hate it. and i honestly i she's not extremely promiscuous (although i really don't know), it's just that she purposefully uses her sexuality to hurt people so i've heard negative things from several people about it. ya, it's embarrassing for me since no one (including me) knew her to be this way while we were together. go be that somewhere else where no one knows me please

i would want her to check into inpatient therapy for at least a year and fully dedicate herself to therapy after that. her life has been hell on earth and it would make me happy if she eventually had a better life instead of this drama filled chaotic world she lives in now.

Her virginity!... .Damn I believe I missed that by several hundred men  Smiling (click to insert in post)

I would like to get a true confession from her that she is mentally ill and wants to take the steps necessary to become a better, healthier person by committing to years of therapy so that she may one day have a successful, happy, loving relationship with someone.

A genuine and lasting apology, but that is not possible.  It is just a dream.

There are so many, but I think the one thing I would want from my ex is for him to be able to allow me to say "anything" without being picked apart and analyzed using projection and blame   Example:  I had a bad day at work.   His answer, I am sorry to hear that.  My dream would be he would stop there at I am sorry to hear that.  But my nightmare has been he will go on about how I am a terrible employee and no one wants me there and  further more, you never . . . . . . . on and on and on.   Just to be able to say "Boo" without it being a big production.   Hope that made sense.

*Sigh*... .wouldn't that be nice? 

Actually, we had that--in a perfect world, it would be lasting love.  Unfortunately, only certain circumstances can allow for this to happen with many borderlines.  Those circumstances didn't exist for us, so I need to keep moving forward without her.

I'd also like my expensive pots and pans set back--it's rough cooking pasta in a tiny sauce pan.

A chance to meet her again with both of us emotionally healthy, healed from our childhood wounds and able to interact functionally as adults. Who knows ... .maybe in another life.

Her to get treatment and acknowledge there is an issue. For me, I'd want acknowledgement of the things she did and apologies. If I had to choose either, I'd choose the former.

I don't think there's anything I really want from my ex.

I wish I could get back over $10K I blew on buying her a new car two weeks before she told me she was "done" and four weeks before I found out about her affair. Economically separating, we of course did not keep it, and I lost more money on getting rid of it for a cheaper car.

What Waifed said. I do truly want him to recognise he has mental health problems get himself seen to and get on the righ path and one day be happy and healthy enough that he can meet someone that he won't treat badly. I wish the same for myself too that I can heal from this and be able to want another relationship with a good man. That would be nice.

I don't think there's anything I really want from my ex.

Me neither!

What I wanted I already got - and that is - I found my answer as to why I persisted with him the first place.  I don't need an apology, an explanation as to why it failed. I know why it didn't work from his perspective and I know why it didn't work from my perspective.

We were two souls who met for a very good reason - to finally break the pattern of why I chose toxic relationship. I no longer see myself as a victim of circumstance who got played. I was part of the problem.

Did she take it? Did she steal it?

I think by saying wanting to have ur dignity back, you already got it back no? A r/s with a pwBPD only highlights your weaknesses, it's not clever enough to take your dignity. You might have given it to her, but she had no idea, that's what I believe Smiling (click to insert in post)

In a way, maybe, I wouldn't want my money back. If there is 1 thing in life completely pointless it's money. Money makes enemies, f_cks up lives etc. If you lost a quarter of a million, you can make a quarter of a million again.

HK it's not the money it's the principal. She didn't deserve it. It was one of those lopsided things where she contributed zero. I would settle for half but I really want it all. Money is a poor trade for time. The seven and a half years. We're all just dreaming here anyway so I'm dreaming big. We ain't going to get nothin but grief from our exes

IF I could get 1 thing from him... .

it would be AWARENESS of his part in the dance... .gracious acknowledgement of what he received in the r/s, acknowledgement of the huge gap between what he said to me and how he acted, and an apology for being so hurtful in the way he discarded me.

(I guess that's 4!)  

Turning this around to myself... .I would like from ME:

- Awareness of my part in the dance

- Gracious acknowledgement (to myself) of what HE received from me in the r/s

- Acknowledgement of the huge gap between what I said to me (that I loved myself) -- and how I acted (I allowed someone to treat me abusively)

- An apology to myself of how I discarded myself when I put up with unkind and hurtful behaviors in order to receive "love"
