Maybe the only thing I can do is control my outward symptoms so he doesn't have anything to talk about. But I think he'd continue to say frustrating and embarrassing things about me regardless. I'm sure he'll then tell people about what progress I'm making from where I was before (and he'll proceed to tell people about what I was like before and he'll pat himself on the back for figuring out how I could get better when he really has no clue). He still talks to strangers about personal phases of life my siblings went through years ago.
