Sorry, I don’t mean to demonize this disorder. I just know how we tend to behave, especially undiagnosed. When I learned I had BPD, I re-examined parts of my life with a totally new understanding; it was like so much had become clearer.

This makes me wonder if it’d be worth providing that same insight to a few of my exes? They don’t deserve to go through that again. Maybe raising awareness will make it easier for them to spot those red flags again in the future?

Of course, a part of me is aware I’d be reaching out for redemption and for more selfish reasons. I would have to hold myself to a very short, brief text message  that’s a paragraph or so long explaining that I had BPD and to encourage them to research it so they aren’t possibly blindsided again. I don’t know if that’s self-serving, but I do know any conversation beyond that would probably be. So I would keep it at that.
