I completely understand the difference in the two. I've done a ton of reading on both. Not saying that he is bpd becuase of his mom at all. I know genetics plays a huge part in bipolar and environment plays a huge part in bpd. I guess my point was that he was genetially already loaded for many of these issues he's facing today. I don't want to get into the details of his childhood or the reasons I think he's BPD but he's exhibited many many many times almost all of the traits of BPD, every single one. Could it be drugs? Maybe. I suppose. The thing is I feel better because I don't care to figure it all out anymore. Whether or not he is truly BPD or not or it was a result of drugs or not, it doesn't matter, he showed all the characteristics and in the end treated me poorly. That's all that matters. I should have typed that differently. I mean truly in the end, while trying to defend myself, I started to act more and more like him. ICK!
Thanks everyone.
