A particular high school teacher was my major obsession, I knew everything about her- like you I knew her car, license plate number, what she liked, and her family members/pets, I envisaged myself being her daughter and to a large extend she allowed this to occur. Unfortunately it went pear shaped when my clinging bothered her and she harshly abandoned me.
I find I go through a cycle system of clinging and then angrily retreating because my reality and their reality don't align the way I want it too. The hardest thing for me though is discovering what is real and what's not and coming to a sort of acceptance of this.

Whether it is BPD related or not I am not sure, but at least you are aware of it and have insight into what you are doing- that's the first step. But know that you are not alone
Hope that helps

Omg that's exactly what happened with me and my high school teacher. I searched for a mother figure an she would nurture me. Then I made her uncomfortable and she abandoned me too. Thank you for telling your story.
Everything that you said is what happened to me. It is so hard to realize what's real when your feelings confession reality. And it did help.
