    I was diagnosed with bpd, bi polar, adhd and cptsd all in 2020. Was the first time I have ever been seen by a professional for anything. My sexual abuse trauma started at 4 years old with members of my family.. followed by having no dad and an alcoholic and abusive mother. Bpd is definitely a roller coaster but I am so thankful for you Professor because you’ve taught me so much about myself and the way I think. It constantly aids me in my daily living. Thank you.

    Great video. Not much has been spoken about the violent traits of the BPD. My ex girlfriend of 3 years was extremely violent. She would fight at the slightest perceived threat. She consistently abused me and vandalized my belongings. Finally as we were riding in my car and I told her I couldn't take it anymore, she pulls a knife from her bag and stabs me. As I drove to the hospital she let me know all the reasons I deserved it. Shes now awaiting a grand jury trial.

    Was with a BPD girl for a year. She's stunningly beautiful and has a very child-like sweet side to her. We had one small disagreement that escalated very dramatically. Saw a side to her I never had before. Was screaming, yelling, etc. I never knew she had abandonment issues. I held fairly strong boundaries for what type of woman I wanted because I just got out of a long-term NPD marriage where my kids were used as hostages against me. Within minutes of the argument, had packed all of her stuff and left the state. I foolishly allowed her to stay in my home in California. Her Mom convinced me she was still in love with me and would never love another person. She blocked me on social within 2 weeks and started dating guys behind my back without ever breaking up with me. I didn't have proof but had a strong suspicion and kicked her out of my home but later got proof. Instead of taking responsibility for why I would do something like this, she said it was narcissistic abuse because I was purposely making her feel the fear of being homeless.
    Long story short, I have a feeling she did wild stuff like gloryholes, orgies, etc. This is speculation, but she said some of her friends did these things and was probably just projection. She's gotten an STD in the past. Her Mom has had STD and still practices wild sex kinks at age 60. She told me I turned her into 'a broken hoe'. Also said she was self-harming, was suicidal, but never saw marks on her body after we got back together and refused to tell me what the nature of this was which made me believe it was sexual.
    Her and her mother gaslit me into believing I was the source of all this happening to her. The whole mothership thing happened and I literally felt I had to rescue my baby. We got back together and I started going to intense counseling 3x a week to map out how I might have done this to her. I found out I had some trauma from my ex-wife and some codependency and was probably excessively harsh with her on a few occasions.
    She never 'officially' broke up with me and ended up having sex with a guy that she said had rape allegations against, dealt drugs, was part-time employed, cursed at his Mom in front of her, etc. I found out about this after we got back together... What struck me was she didn't even care about me during this state. I absorbed all the blame and even felt suicidal over it. I told her I was scared. Told her I didn't want to work on things if she was going to go off and date. She wouldn't give a straight answer. So when I showed up the best I possibly could, absorbed every ounce of blame for what she was going through, she was off screwing losers. She was drinking excessively, etc.
    Once I found out the details of this, I lost it and raged on her. I told her how gross it was, I didn't want to see her or touch her. She started packing her bags and I told her I would help her. Told her to get the fuck out of my house. She's going around telling everyone she was narcissistically abused. I went and got tested because I don't want to hurt anyone in future relationships if I was the source. Till this day she literally ignores me when I remind her what the definition of cheating is. She won't acknowledge it whatsover. Even told me she wouldn't be able to handle that if the tables were turned. I was used to completely scapegoat all of her wild self-destructive behavior. I can't tell you how bad this messed my mind up. The image I held of her as being a precious innocent girl that was madly in love with me, only to be devalued this strongly is unreal. I don't wish this upon anyone.
    Incredibly hard to see someone so beautiful, so child-like live a life like this... Unlike someone with NPD, she doesn't have the manipulative skills to secure and keep a relationship. She will literally either end her life at some point or contract HIV. I absolutely loath her parents for doing this to her. Both wildly narcissistic. Even after being cheated on, I feel so utterly sorry for her. I don't hold anything against her and wish her the absolute best.

    I think more than than simply self sabotaging because the bpd thinks they deserve it, but a desire to stop the 'emptiness' when things are somewhat peaceful. Going back to a relationship fulfills a feeling of connection even if its painful. To feel something. Just as those who cut... they do to 'feel' .

    Thank you so much for clearing this up for me, A short version of my story was I was studying to complete my engineering degree, and I had no time to see her. So one night I received a phone call while studying that she is out drunk and crying over me. I contacted her to find out where she was she told me, i drove there and upon my arrival as I stopped behind her car, there was a young man leaning in by her window with his phone out. I got out of my car which was parked behind hers and as i approached them he ran toward his car which was parked in front of hers. I reached her window and asked what was going on to which she replied its nothing the guy was just checking she was okay. Long story short i asked her to come home with me as she could not drive in her state, to which she replied, no its okay she will go home. I stood there and spoke with her and got her a coca cola from a nearby garage to assist to sober her up. I was there for about an hour trying to convince to her to which she eventually told me , please know she loves me but this between us must stop and end. I asked her to please answer her phone as I want to know that she gets home safely. Regardless I called she multiple times after I let her drive she did not answer. The next morning I received a phone call from a family member of hers asking if she is by me as she did not come home. I immediately worried and began to contact multiple hospitals. It was later that morning I received a call she is home now. I only realized later and after this video what she had actually done that evening with the young guy who was standing by her car window. It still haunts me however Sam, I am so greatful that you have assisted to help me understand this disorder. God Bless.

    Sam, these videos are both harrowing and validating in equal measure, coming from a brutally discarded ex of a BPD trait woman. It is literally as if you’re recounting that chaotic relationship in these four videos, EVERYTHING tallies.
    It’s almost exactly a year on from her humiliating me and dumping me midway through dinner whilst out on a date, and me blocking her and never looking back. I’m truly not sure I’ll ever be the same again, a part of me died that day and I’ve been cutting that part out since, but it’s left a void that I’m unable to fill

I am trying to fix myself but it is really difficult. i put my life and soul into my wife and children, and lost all my friends over 15 yrs marriage. Our "marital" friends (sic) are not my friends at all it turns out, but hers only. No clean break with my BPD covert narc wife and she has indeed moved on with her new man (self trashing). My children are all turned against me, though I am loving and available to each of them. that's why even though i can research this for months and try to work things through to make myself a better person, i have lost my children to this destructive psychopathy. i can detach from my narc ex-wife, but not my narc children. Sam Vaknin says that it is in the interests of the children to also become narcs, so they can get on and achieve in this society. Part of me agrees but part of me says no, i would rather my children were fecklesss but empathetic, rather than "society-adapted" and narcissistic. As for me, I hope now to dedicate my life to the study of pathological parenting and making sure it is recognised and dealt with at both a mental health and judicial level.

      Hi shaggy, same thing happened to me last year in late May but she was my wife of ten years. Discarded and blamed. A week later I found out she already had another sexual relationship with another man. I don't know for how long but I suspect for at least a couple of months but could be longer. It was THE hardest thing I ever had to deal with in my entire life. Divorced in September. Absolutely heart breaking and life altering, but funny enough I'm now much happier than I was as I didn't realize how much of my own life I'd lost trying to fix hers. Hope you're doing better now. 👍

    This video made me so sad. It reminded me of my ex-wife who abandoned me and the kids, and I never understood why until I started watching these vidoes. I always loved her, but I had a big surgery, was depressed for years and maybe not as affectionate as I should have been, but I had a mid-life crisis that involved sleeping on my own, since I was embarassed by my illnes. By the time I came out of it, she was cheating on me prolifically and said some of the cruelest things to both me and my daughter. I feel sorry for her now...I forgive her, still love her, but could never take her back, becasue the images captured by the private investigators have scoured my brain forever. She's living pathetically now, drinking too much, smoking pot and living with a series of men in the last several years. Never attends any holiday functions even when my children go over to her mother's house. I am simultaneously mad for leaving me a single father, while at the same time even more sad for her.

    If a borderline woman makes a mistake perceiving being abandoned, while the partner goes on a business trip and she starts the devaluing stage, is it possible to "snap her out of it", when you get back? My first shock in the same sex relationship was coming back and realizing that her daily "love letters" for me were the opposite of mine and kinda hate letters of a person, who thought she was abandoned. The relationship eventually fell apart and I recognize a lot of behavior and stages in your descriptions in the lecture. Just wondered if there was something I could have done differently.

    Thank you for this informative video. With regard to splitting, something I think needs more information is why the child “gets stuck” at this young stage of development and why they are unable to integrate good/bad aspects of a parent. This is not without reason.
    To my mind the dual aspects of a parent can’t be integrated as firstly the child does not understand that the person who is meant to take care of me is also the same person who harms me, plus it is a defence mechanism in the sense of now I see abusive parent is present, i will do what is required behaviourally to keep myself safe. Unfortunately these are the behaviours that continue on into adulthood such as hyper vigilance for others behaviour so protective measures for safety can be put in place. Discernment in adulthood instead of instant default to splitting is the skill that needs to be learnt.

    I think I'm BPD... I personally have found looking back to all the past relationships that I devalue when the guy I have dated I wasn't originally sexually attracted to but date because I can see they are a decent guy and tbh just want to be loved and feel loved but if I am sexually attracted to them I become crazy "inlove with the guy and they always turn out to be narcissists - the ones I become crazy inlove with...does that sound weird to anyone? Or make sense? I've given up on dating

    Much of what you say is so concise and it is greatly appreciated. The identity of "scum" I am struggling with.

    I am going to the doctor's for a mental health plan and a referral if necessary.

    Or is it possible to be the victim of a narcissist without these psychological issues?
    I am asking this because after I ended this relationship (3 years) I feel depleted completely, which makes me ask Do Borderlines have false self or Do they have True self that is not completely void? I heard you say that Borderlines can be cured, and it gives me hope I will get back to my soul and my feet.

    Hi Sam. How can you back up the statement that "In the case of a borderline, there is only negative emotions. This IS her personality"? I mean, would you have some studies or links/ articles to suggest that speak for this? I'm asking, because I'm trying to understand my bpd diagnosis better. I do have positive emotions and I feel the ability to feel joy, love, affection etc, every now and then (very greatly, even), though more rarely. My diagnosis was given to me quite late in life and I've gone through a lot of mental struggle during my life. Gathering information to gain a better understansing of myself.. wondering if it in fact has been a correct diagnosis for myself. Thank you in advance, if you can take the time to respond. Enjoying your vids, mostly.

      @@samvaknin It is absolutely true. As an healthy partner you beg to intimacy. You will cry in your bed, alone. You "have" probably the most attractive woman you ever wanted to be with, but you get no intimacy which is the goal of a relation. You may have the feeling to be "with" a "professional". You then feel like a supply, being used, abused, manipulated like a puppet trying to maintain the relation balance right which happens only sporadically. And sometime you think you maintain it right and you are wrong. The more you give her love and the more you do for the relation, the more you feed her disease. Every partner think they can save them and they are simply feeding the disease and triggering even more intern pain.
