i would still be making excuses for him! but there was no denying his mental instability after that! i couldnt deny it anymore.
That to me is why relationships with borderlines are self-limiting, or not. As the crazy escalates there comes a time when we cross a line and go fck this, I'm out. That happened for me on a cruise ship in the middle of the Caribbean and I still needed to tolerate her for a few days since I was incarcerated on a boat, but I've never been happier to see land in my life. And I understand why some people find it appropriate to jump overboard.
But some people get so caught up in the crazy that they can't get off the ride. Congratulate yourself on your mental health and for having those moments of clarity. As you shift your focus from him to you and from the past to the future, what's next for you?
im starting therapy again

but i think im pretty much over this stage in my life i can feel it. there are things i want to accomplish i am working on
also im seeing someone. its not serious but hes GREAT. has good relationship with his parents... all american. out on his own... attractive highly empathetic even got teary eyed when i told him a sad story

! he is drastically different from what im used to.
we are taking it very slow havent even had sex... .(new to me as well)
no clue where its gonna go. but so nice not to have a connection based on crazy.
im excited for this new chapter. and if it doesnt work out i KNOW i will be loved. i have a GREAT friend who has taken me and my daughter into her family. celebrstibg thanksgiving with these ppl and parents are coming down.
i finally feel like i know who i am and that is part of the reason im over it. bc no one can make me doubt who i am ever again. i gave my allbto him and genuinely loved him and forgave hin llmbseveral times. i have a great heart... im attractive and intelligent. i shouldnt be down on myself. i bring smiles to peoples faces... and i turn heads screw my ex! he missed out big! gl to him.
low self esteem is gettibg a kick out the door.
