That he was serious about and now i am pretty sure Anna is going to start protecting me from stepdad too!
Because then he asked
If you were judging a competition how many scores would you get to hold up? (As in I'd get to hold up 3 because of 3 different opinions)
Then he made some other "joke"
I was heartvroken. This man has been jealous of me since i was in college and has inapopriate boundaries obviously.
Has anyone said mean stuff to you? I feel like calling him back and yelling at him. He can't tease me about my disabilitiex without my permission and anyway my mom said she told him that in confidence and he isn't supposed to badger me. He's a jerk.
I want to yell but can't as yelling is a trigger for switching.

most if not all states in america have laws against making statements against someones race, religion, handicap ....and theres harassment laws too that cover such things as what your step dad did....
if you were here in New York what he did is grounds for emotional abuse, harassment protection orders and prosecution.
a protection order is a court order that tells him he can not harass you this way in the future and if he comes with in so many feet of you or initiates conversations with you or approaches you, you can have him arrested..
if you are here in New York you would not have to just put up with this and he would not be able to do this to you..
my suggestion....contact your treatment provider.. they tell you whether your location allows this kind of emotional abuse/harassment of people with mental illness and how you can protect yourself by obtaining a protection order against this kind of emotional harassment abuse.
