I messaged my BPD ex a few days ago, and she text me in the middle of the night to say her boyfriend made threats to hit her. What is she trying to make me feel? I did not text back because I did not know what to say in my reply. How can you respond to a text like that. I don't know what she expects me to do about it. She hates me anyway so why now the contact?
Bizzare.

IMO you need to stay away from her. There is nothing you can do. This is only going to cause you pain in the long run!

Bizzare.
Perhaps she IS in abusive relationship and she does not want to make you feel in any way. Perhaps she is in a genuine predicament and distress. Perhaps she is still attached to you and needs your support.

How about not trying to figure out what she expects but replying according to what you feel? If you care about her then do support her. Do not go silent on her.

If you don't care, make THAT clear.

A person with BPD is NOT stupid. We only appreciate genuine care and support.
Thanks for this!

I agree with this advice the most. What Edda said x2

If you don't care be honest with her, I appreciate it when people are honest with me, even if the truth hurts. I hate it when people beat around the bush with this kind of thing, especially my "support" system aka 'friends' and family.

She probably does still have some feelings for you, so its up to you if you want to play white knight for her or not.

I'm of the opinion that she still has feelings for you but that does not mean that it's a good thing.

I agree that you should make your intentions clear in either case, let her know you shouldn't be bothered with her predicaments or offer your support.

Keep in mind the situation if you offer your support is bound to be more complex than you might think. Please weigh this with your decision. Not a judgment on you or her but that she is with another person now and you're an ex, it just can't be a simple situation at all.

Ouch. I'm sorry. I was not amused. I was just wondering why he still has her number when he says "she hates me anyway". The "haha" was just me trying to lighten up my possibly harsh statement of "why do you still have her number?" because he might feel hurt that I will think he is weak. Sorry if it sounded offensive.

And DylanP, I don't know how your relationship was with your ex, perhaps you should, as you say, reply accordingly based on your past with her, as Edda has said? Yeah I'm sorry if I've offended you with my previous post. (I was probably wrong) I just realised that girls have very strong emotions, and combining that with BPD, most probably she did not text you out of spite.

Don't be sorry ...I'm sorry I read it wrong, just in a bad frame of mind so I guess I am going to take everything wrong today

I don't mind the haha. No, like fact is if I did not message her the other day, she would not have messaged me last night. She forgot I existed until I reminded her the other day, and she just needed someone to text and it just happened to be me. I would imagine their relationship can be fine and toxic in cycles.
I'm sure she can sort it out, I can't interfere in people and the choices they make.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
