My ex wife (key word: “ex”) has BPD.

When she was first diagnosed, I read tons of people online telling me to get the hell out before it got worse. I ignored it, because I thought I could be the one to actually fix her.

You can’t fix it. These people are toxic, and will ruin every relationship they have, without exception. My ex cost herself her marriage, all of her friends and family, several therapists, several attorneys, every job she’s ever held, and every boyfriend she’s had since our split. It’s a very sad existence, but their fear of abandonment is a self fulfilling prophecy. They drive everybody away, and then say “see, I knew you were always planning to leave me”. Awful, awful stuff.
