He told me yesterday that he didn't even believe i have a mental illness and that it's all bs. Today he texted me and apologized to me for the first time ever and asked that we have a real conversation about me and what's going on with me. I wasn't expecting this and I had just resigned myself to hating him... But now that he wants to know about everything I don't know if I want to be vulnerable and tell him and then have him still tell me I'm lying and making excuses for my behavior. I don't blame my mental illness for my shortcomings. I feel my shortcomings so deeply that they are a part of my core as a person not because of my mental illness. I don't know what I'm going to say to him. I think I'm gonna try to write it all down.

Be careful. My parents are abusive towards me and pulled the "we want to know whats going on so we can help". It was a trick used against me every chance they get. I no longer talk to them. I hope its genuine for you.
