Kazoo,
My mother is livid. Neither she nor I intend to tell my sister (who is bipolar and sometimes suicidal), since we're afraid she might go off the deep end. After all, he did this to me ... he could easily do it to her. However, if he has any sense he won't mention my name again.
Yeah, he was very intimidated by me, but without good reason. He made it very clear that he does not like the internet, nor any other type of research. He told me not too long ago that he belives everything I need to know should come from him and him alone. He actually said that if he were to pull a button from his shirt, hand it to me and say, "This button will make you better," I should believe it just because he says it is so. Looking back, that's spooky. I think that poor guy needs therapy worse than I do.
Thanks for responding and making me feel better. I'm starting to remember more of the weird things he has said and done over the years. It's really amazing that I stuck with him for 5 years.
