Wouldn't you say that it's hard to go down a checklist of all the symptoms? I've seen enough to believe that there is more going on than just being an asshole.

Thanks for your responses. I'm looking for an explanation for how someone can flip between two opposites so fluently.
Cool. Yeah I am not sure if Bipolar is the root cause here. But let's for a second say that it is a condition he has, and it's causing some or most of the issues. What will that change for you? Will you recommend treatment options for him? Will you feel better or worse about the situation as it is today?

I want you to find relief from the stress and challenges of the situation and would like to understand how a diagnosis of bipolar or not for him would help.

Thanks,

moogs
