Lots of chat of the Silver Lining/ Gift of the BPD.
Hmmmm....
1. Boundaries, far better than before and reinforced. 2. Titanium skin 3. Red Pill addict. 4, Wee bit more bratty? I like to think that is due to my "age." And ever so comfy with my inner cheeky child. Little rebellious hellion that she is. She's nice though. 5. Learned about PD's. Like that was really necessary? But hey, free lessons. Might as well learn. 6. Logic and reason rules. Mind over matter. Emotional reasoning is for the the birds. 7. I don't take life too seriously, because never know what's going to end it without a warning. Ya know? Could be anything. Make the best of now and plan for tomorrow. 8. Believe in my own sorry butt. 9. Working through the FOO issues, was able to repair the relationship with the FOO to a large degree. Not "perfect" but Aok. Better than it ever was before. That's not bad. 10. Trust is earned, not assumed nor granted without a basis for validity. Done with being burnt.
Any others?

Great stuff. Maybe from seeing how they hold onto crap such as resentment from "always being wronged" we can move on and get past stuff, almost like forgiveness.

That is what we can Do and must Do or get trapped with the anger and resentment. And did I ever spend a lot of time there. From what I am reading on the boards, it's the ones that honored their anger that seemed to have made it out with a little less soul crushing damage. A little...not much. But a different perspective and appreciation of the self / core.
Almost. I forgave him the first time the incidents happened. One time, sometimes twice...but after that I could not. I remember him years ago demanding that I forgive him. And then when it happened again, he told me I forgave him. But to forgive another doesn't constitute that it is somehow allowed to happen again and again.
Wish I could forget, but I can't. Forgot lots of stuff, the smaller incidents, the things that should not ever happen and they pop up when I am driving or doing stuff and it's a lot. It's weird. The polar opposites of this shitty disorder are what kill me. The extremes. The good/ bad and the inability to walk the middle ground. The blank lack of awareness though, that through the soul a goring blow. Just no awareness. None. I look at him and wonder how he can do it. The crap I did? Still haunts me. All of it. The crazy boundaries I turned into a game for myself. How to survive the chaos, I can survive anything when I know there is a dead line on how long I have to keep the focus. But, there is no dead line on his "changing" or "seeing the light."
Way too much strange stuff and worse....what of the stuff I don't know? Do I want to? Probably not.
What was/ is your silver lining CG?
