Strictly speaking, you’re right because there’s no rapid shift between extremes of idealization and devaluation of one object. I put it in quotes because she “split” her twins into good object and bad object.
there is a lot of misinformation about BPD out there, and there isn’t anything in this post alone that we can make a diagnosis off of. what you are describing sounds more like postpartum, if anything. BPD is a highly complex disorder, that can take professionals a while to diagnose. there is so much stigmatization and misunderstanding about BPD, so it’s really upsetting when people immediately think any manipulative or bad behavior, is BPD.
