    Very true. It's unfortunate that you had to deal with such a twisted situation, I hope that the guy is long gone.

      Yeah, he is. I guess if there was a silver lining to my nightmare is that I've realized my weaknesses and my shortcomings, so I know what to do in order to protect my heart.

      I truly hope he gets the therapy he needs. I went through 6 months of hell with him--he goes through it with every loved one in his life.

        It's a shame that he hasn't, yet. It takes so long to even notice results and a lot of people give up early on. It took me 15 years for results. You must be an absolute angel to be able to handle someone with BPD for six months. I'm glad you've got some armor from it. It takes the hardest battles to learn the most important things about yourself, doesn't it?
