thanks.
My mentor also told me that Bruce did not have as much "diagnosis" or "psychiatric history" as myself. Also, Bruce indeed is not as keen on mental health as I am. He knows he's depressed and codependent, sometimes he's wondered if he's bpd. But I agree that he does seem to look down more on others than examine his own issues. He seems to see himself as just a victim and not someone who is responsible for his own problems. He will blame me more than himself when there is an issue between us and he continually complains about his friends to me. About how "sick" they are.
I am sure I am one of them to him.
Ani (mentor) instructed me last night to picture Bruce's "cats better than humans" and "nuts" comments simply falling away and bouncing off my tougher skin.
With this knowledge, I was able to forgive Bruce this morning and carry on.
