He would freak out at this because it would mean i was not giving him credit for my achievement. Yes. You read that right. He feels he got me to where i am. What is worse is i believed that.. still do in some ways.

Even if he played some roll in enabling you to attend school or provided some type of encouragement or support, achieving your degree is still your personal achievement. When you get your diploma you will see only one persons name on it. Next time you start giving him credit for this achievement remember all the hours you spent studying, attending class, writing papers, managing your work, school, family responsibilities, and jumping through various hoops. No one did all those things but you.

It does seem like you need to stay cool and wait the rest of this visit out. But when he leaves, it sounds like you need to take your personal protection to the next level and see legal assistance in making the separation wider. Sounds to me like friendship is not an option.

Hang in there!
