Crunchy, I honestly couldn't relate more! Most of the awful things are text. E-mail, IM, etc... In person things are generally normal. He's a coward, but still manages to have control over me. And that fact makes me feel even worse. Ugh.

CANDC, Thank you so much for advice and kind words. I really appreciate it. I think the routine would be helpful, it just kills me that I have to bend over backwards to mold my life around his bad behavior. Once I get over that, I think I'll feel better. I just hate feeling like a victim; I want to feel stronger than that. I've never seen bipolar as a disability, but I suppose dealing with my own **** feels a lot different than having a reduced ability to cope with other people's ****.

Beigy, I'd save all the emails. It's your proof in case you ever need it. Ugh. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I do completely understand
