After doing alot of studying I've come to the conclusion that my ewBPD probably has more going on than just BPD. She has quite a few hpd and npd traits also. The more I read the more I'm realizing I'm the lucky one.

hi peiper. there does seem to be some overlap in the expression of the Cluster B disorders. we even have a thread on it: What is the relationship between BPD and narcissism (NPD)? .

we all want to think that the person we were in a r/s with is high-quality stuff. i've had the hardest time absorbing that my stbxw (although she is in many ways high-quality stuff!) really does have a clinical personality disorder. it's liberating to realize it, but we also have to beware of our own responses to the PD traits. i was attracted to my w's streak of wildness, not realizing it was a fundamental expression of BPD, a thing i never heard of until it was too late. do you know what got you into your ex-SO?

I was attracted to the same wild traits and always have been. Too soon old, too late wise.

And I just learnt that mine is Schizotypical (STPD), and that really freaked me out.

It explains the paranoia and coldness.

I've no idea though it that replaces or adds up to the BPD that the thereapist mentionned before.

I was advised to call the police if she came back. Because they told me after reviewing everything she is ticking time bomb. A silent person is a deadly weapon.
