Maybe you could also tell him that you were dead wrong about your dad.

You didn't fully grasp what it's like to have a manic episode until you had one of your own.
I hope things work out.  |
I have told him I was wrong and about how I just wanted it to be true. He just thinks I'm lying to cover for myself, though. He never actually says "you're lying", but he definitely doesn't believe me when I tell him.
I haven't been going to my therapy appointments as regularly as I should've been, so, at this point, I don't think it would help much with explaining my feelings.
Eventually, (hopefully there's an eventually to look forward to) that's the plan. I've got an appointment on Thursday, though. Wish me luck.
