I'm sorry for what you are going through tyrol. It sounds like you are in a difficult situation. Ultimately the decision on what to do is your decision.

Things you should consider are past behavior, any boundaries that you need to enforce for yourself, can you continue to live with the behavioral issues that come with living with a pwBPD, etc.

What is the best thing for you to do? If you were to try to work things out, what is your motivation to do so? What changes do you need to make within yourself so that you can take care of yourself within the relationship?

I think my wife wants me to move out. I cannot do that but she is welcome to come back. I am not going to chase her.  I will wait for my wife to contact me. I forgive her what what she did to our 8 year old child. She says she is suffering but the child is the victim. I still love her.
