Sorry, I'm new here so...I don't really know anybody, but one thing that struck me about your post is that you said he doesn't think you've "made enough progress". Well, how do you feel about your progress? Do you think you're doing better?

Because you are right; he is asking you to exert control over things that you don't have control over. That's just a fact. But one thing I've learned over the years of dealing with my own disorder is that our loved ones usually have no clue how powerful an effect their words/actions can have on us when we are in certain states of mind.

So although it may be hard, evaluate yourself in light of your own opinions and not his. Is there something more you could be doing? Then work on it. Are you doing the best you can? Then know that's all he can ask of you, and if you are unable to meet the expectation he sets, then there's something wrong with the expectations and NOT with you.

Like I said, I'm a new kid on the block....but, I hope you find some comfort in my words. Please be safe, take care of yourself, and good luck. You are worth more than your sadness makes you think.
