Borderline Ex's: To make a long story short . . .

The term, "Borderline" derives from emotionally unbalanced people who at times, exhibit psychotic symptoms. The actual definition of psychosis, is one’s inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality.

We think of those who have BPD traits, as living on the 'border-line' of psychosis. This means, sometimes they seem lucid and rational, and other times, they DO NOT. When you’ve ended your dance with this type of person, NO RESPONSE and NO CONTACT is always best! The borderline personality craves attention, and will do literally anything, to stay on the forefront of your consciousness, including cyber-stalking you and vandalizing your property.

If you’ve ever been harassed or stalked by a BPD ex post-breakup, where they SAY they hate you, but continue to text or call accusing you of absurd or bizarre behaviors or intentions, you know exactly what it's like having been involved with someone who has Borderline Personality Disorder. In short, it’s a nightmare~ particularly while you’re still licking your wounds and trying to heal from their cruelty, and reconstitute yourself.

Not all Borderlines operate like this, but the ones who are far-end of the BPD spectrum, do. Sadly enough, these are often the most exquisite women or handsome men you’ll ever have the pleasure of knowing~ but when you’re involved with an individual who has severe BPD traits, the PRIZE of sleeping with him or her, isn’t worth the emotional, psychological and (often) physical PRICE you pay while you’re together, and after the relationship ends.

Know that You are not being singled-out for abuse by a Borderline. There’s a long list of their ex’s who’ve had to deal with irrational, crazy-making incidents after a breakup, which seem really batshit crazy to a rational, sane person! Many plagued with poor self-worth lifelong (due to faulty parenting), feel suicidally depressed in the aftermath of one of these toxic affairs.

My 25 online articles comprehensively address BPD traits and how castrating, tormenting and damaging it feels to be involved with a Borderline, and what to expect when you work up the courage to cut ties with them. With someone normal and emotionally sound, closure is fairly swift when you part ways~ but with a Borderline, “it ain’t over till the (circus’s) fat lady sings.”
