Finally left BPD partner
We were together for 2.5 years and he had severe BPD and been on mental health team since the age of 8 years old. After putting up with the gaslighting, the rage, the mania, the breakdowns, the arguing… I finally left a week ago. The final straw was him going into mania and smashing the whole flat up and punching the walls through all while screaming in my face, leaving me standing there traumatised over the abnormality of the situation. Then he said he’s sorry and then tried spinning it on me and deflecting. He’s now blocked from everything and has no way of contacting me. I have this unbelievable weight lifted from my shoulders, I feel liberated, free. It’s only just hitting me now the behaviour I had to endure. Dealing with someone with this disorder is hard and can drain you beyond repair. The PTSD and trauma bonding I had/have. I guess my message here is for people in this sub…. You might love them but loving sometimes means letting go… It’s better late than never x
