I will blunt, They will never understand. It is like they have a mental retardation that keeps them at the age of a toddler. They CAN NOT understand. It is like telling your feeling to a child. A very young child. You wouldn't go in and expect pre-schoolers to give you support.

I have a very disordered family and have dated very disordered people. They do not understand and worse, they do not care. In fact, when you feel like crap, it makes them feel more together.

Now that I have been blunt, let me say. I know it takes time to ignore. And I make mistakes all the time. Just try your best to ignore him. I am sorry it hurts.
