And if you are dealing with a border line personality disordered person, you have become entrenched emotionally. To detach will be hard. I was involved with one. It took me 2 years to heal.

I will definitely look more into that because yes, you are probably right! Codependent, emotionally entrenched...I cared about this young man at one point and wanted to help him find his way here...but I don't anymore because I care MORE ABOUT ME! I MUST FIND MY WAY BACK!!!! I LOST EVERYTHING!!!
I WILL NOT LOSE ANYMORE TO THIS PERSON!!! I have my life and my health and I am moving forward! HE IS NOT MY PROBLEM ANYMORE!!! (I'm screaming at myself not you! Ugh!) It's so draining!!!
