An act isn't necessarily manipulative, it's the motive behind the act. Like if you want him to read it just so that he feels bad and gives you more attention, that's manipulative. But if you want him to read it to gain insight into why you spiral led out, it isn't manipulative at all. I think you are the latter, you just want to give him important info so he will have better insight.

Even in the off chance that it is manipulative, it is still something that needs to be talked thru. So win win, either way.
