You know what, though? It's not ripping me open, Rita. There's a near constant awareness that she's sick. And people with BPD will often act out, try to provoke, and try to make you feel what
they feel. For the longest time, she used to numb her feelings. And now that she's (supposedly) clean, she's unable to self-regulate her moods and/or feelings.
Fortunately, I've learned how to and can self-regulate. So that's what I choose to do.
One of my buddies has been staying with me. The agreement we have is if she pulls anything, he's going to deal with her and not me. Right now, although I'm healing, I'm still raw, and I can't be drawn into a confrontation without it injuring me. I just want to heal, continue to live my life, and go forward.
