[QUOTE="witzend, post: 314685, member: 99"] Thanks, all. I agree that the change that I can control will be my own. I have it logically in my head here, I just need to follow it in my heart that she isn't going to be changing until she wants to. MWM, I really think that the number of texts has nothing to do with it. It's the technology that she has available to her and that she is most comfortable with. 30 years ago she would have called or come to the house. Now it's easier to text, plus it makes her feel superior because she can text that quickly. None of the other major descriptors in Borderline (BPD) match her. There is no self-harm, no suicidal tendancies, and no transient relationships, no paranoia, no dissociative states, no unstable self-image. When I first had my "lightbulb moment" last week about her, I thought Borderline (BPD) too but when I looked it up it was really not anything like her. I still felt PD, and narcissistic is there to a T. Some things she is a little like, some things she is a lot like. I don't think that the fact that she is texting negates everything else. If I had said "comes to my house and won't stop arguing" or "calls and won't stop arguing" it would [I]still[/I] fit NPD more than Borderline (BPD). [/QUOTE]
