I got away from someone with BPD after years of trying to help, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’m no longer of the opinion that people with BPD can really be helped. They’re like some form of sociopath, I really don’t think they’re capable of caring about how their actions affect other people.

It’s like trying to teach empathy to a young child after they’ve done something cruel, and it’s clear you’re not really getting through to them and their brain just needs to develop more. People with BPD stay that way their whole lives, and have everyone around them walking on eggshells every day.
