Thank you, Skip!
I opened this thread over dinner al fresco, joined by an inspirational friend.
The sad part of the meal was confirmation of a bereavement from another friend (automated email reply), update on a suicide, and reading the forum here 'My BPD died'.
The best part over the course of the day was reconnecting with some amazing people who I had thought of but not heard from in years. And starting a new musical blog. I met some more friends in the early hours before bed.
The serendipity was wishing myself a happy birthday here, a narrow escape. I had steeled myself to celebrate alone and ended up doing the opposite. My BPD ex, bristling with malice, crashed my late night celebration about one in the morning but disappeared without a word.
I've never known a better or surer way to get unknown people happy and involved than putting in song requests places I go, even doing the odd quiet dj spot. Here's the first song on the new blog

Happy Birthday, Chitchat!
I loved your use of the phrase "bristling with malice"... . not a nice thing to endure, but excellent visual image. That's exactly what my ex was like when I had to see him on Tuesday. He called today to apologize. I nearly fainted.
I'm glad your birthday turned out ok in the end - good music saves lives. ;-)

everyone is invited next year
You are right about music, bdweller. And I am hoping with you that your ex gives you the respect you deserve, for his sons' sake and yours.

Howdy Chitchat,

I've been saving the last bit of glitter for you, Spero! Five months into NC for me. Not exactly smooth. But who knows what will happen tomorrow?
