Being with her was an eye opener not something I would ever want to repeat again she was the toughest relationship I've ever been it, full of drama, fights, mind fvcks. Since I've been with her I can sense damaged women just talking to them I seem to dig for the right info that gives me clues if these women I encounter are fvcked up or not. I know my exes ex she just dumped will be trying to claw her back, she almost killed him once with a heart attack.Your whole world starts to fall apart when they are in your life. When you dont know anything about Cluster B's, it truly is a traumatic experience. You are basically at war when you are dating/married to one. When its you over you need to be debriefed on what happened. That is 1# thing to help in recovery is knowing how they work, what everything "really" meant and what happened. Once you learn all about them they become so easy read. You end up looking back and seeing everything for what it really was.
I learned more about life, myself, psychology and so many other things in 1 year than I did in 10. After I learned all about them I decided to help others who were in a relationship with one, or recovering. I spent a good 8 months helping people all over the world, made new friends and all. But in the end I had to stop as it was taking a toll on my own well being. What you dont hear about is how many commit suicide will with them, after a break up or die from a stroke/heart attack from all the stress they cause. I've read a lot of horrific stories from people I helped. These types of people commit a silent type of murder/abuse with no bruises, no cuts or marks, its all emotional and stress related. Gas lighting is very dangerous to someone who doesn't know wtf is going on.
You are lucky to have her out of the life and you are alive and well. A lot of men waste their entire lives chasing their ex narc/bpd because they dont have that one thing that thing that changes everything..knowledge on how they work. I guess for me the hardest thing Im still struggling with in recovery is extreme shame in myself for not leaving her for good the many times I tried. I always got sucked back into her toxic vortex. Knowing how she got pleasure seeing me in pain, how I always went back to her after being treated like dog chit. She must have looked at me like I was the dumbest man in the world. But its ok, I learned a very valuable life changing lesson, and I know karma will strike down on her.
If you dont have any kids with her then why are you continuing to give her supply? Block all forms of contact asap even if you have to change your #. Wake up man, STOP answering her and stay no contact!
The 1# thing against these demons is to NEVER show a reaction to their bs mind games. No reaction hurts them, the more you do it, the faster they will leave you alone. When you no longer work like they need you to, you become worthless to them. Its all about control. No control= you're worthless
I'm the guy that searches for answers I've always been that way, after things settled down and I got my head back in order I needed to know what the fvck happened. When somebody mentioned BPD I started looking into it more I read more I learned it all pointed to her, she wouldn't ever tell me what mental health issues she suffered from I know the medication she is on. She's a high functioning BPD I would imagine that makes her a more dangerous one because people will look at her and say there is nothing wrong with her and believe what she says in the smear campaign.
I know now I was really mind fvcking her, she would go right mental when I played with the control and how much she had, especially at work, the thing I liked doing the most was taking credit for things she did, honestly I didn't do it on purpose but management would give me credit for it. She would get so upset then it would turn anger then emotional saying why I'm I hurting her. There were things she did at her job she wasn't good at the other staff said you have to tell her.... I dreaded that, it would always turn into I'm hurting her. Dealing with a BPD you are truly dealing with an adult that still is a child. The evil side came out of her she started collecting evidence and stuff she could use against me she wanted to see me terminated. She was the angel and I was the abuser, saying I was really abusive and she was scared to work with me I was going to hurt her. In the end of the mess she caused, I was terminated for "abusing her", they believed every last word she said, they realized she's fvcking nuts 6 months after I left. In the end I won she ruined her reputation, I didn't crash and burn like she hoped I went back to the construction trades been working steady ever since. Three years later she's no farther ahead than she was before she doesn't have full time employment. I own my own place now something she hoped and dreamed off doing its not going to happen. All her hopes and dreams she told me she wanted, hasn't happened. She's in the rear view mirror on the road of life, what ever, don't need her dragging me down, I have positive attitude again, life is worth living, my future is bright, best of all I'm happy.
