Is it typical for exs with BPD to send texts like this? What is going through the mind of a BPD person when they send messages like this? Will I ever hear from him again even though he said this will be his final message to me?
it is not abnormal for any ex to send a message like this. people dont like to end on a bad note. sometimes they want to feel better about how things ended. sometimes, they dont want things to end. sometimes they want to feel better about themselves. sometimes they want the other person to feel better about them. it can happen for any variety of reasons.
it reads like a very general, sort of universal apology. you know him best, and would better be able to speak to anything that may or may not have been behind it beyond that.
do you want this to be his final message to you?
