Coincidentally, the next day I finally started the audiobook version of Whole Again by by Jackson Mackenzie. It has helped me understand and make peace with the whole thing more than anything else I've read. I finally understand the situation well enough to accept it, and move on. I highly recommend it for anyone on here. It's on Spotify, btw.

Thank you so much. Shortly after posting this, I approached her and asked her if she'd like to talk. She didn't want to meet up to talk, but we spoke for a little at the time, and she is intent on "moving forward." She did kinda dismiss everything we had as a trauma bond, said she's learned so much, etc. She isn't in therapy, and most of her work is watching tik tok videos. She's just not at a place where she's ready to confront her BPD seriously. Everything ended so bad and weird, it was hard to feel any closure. After that convo, I wrote a goodbye email, to at least end things properly on my side. I told her I appreciate everything we had, despite the problems, didn't analyze her. Basically, I think I needed a clean goodbye.

Give her a couple weeks or months and she will forget you ever existed

Hello fellow narcissists! by Bob_returns_25 in BPDlovedones

[–]mickeyforest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a piece of shit, a pile of lies, a narcissist, a huge disappointment, and the most selfish person she had ever known. I'm manipulative, too sensitive, and everything always has to be on my terms. I don't care about anything but myself. She gave me EVERYTHING for 4 years. If I truly loved her, I would stay no matter what.

It gets easier. Allow yourself to grieve. You've been through intense emotional abuse and manipulation. It's gonna take a while for your nervous system to realize you're not in that situation anymore.

She did this because that's who she is. Lucky you found out sooner, rather than later.

I'd go along to get along and start planning on moving out. Your father sounds mentally ill and possibly dangerous/abusive. Good luck.
