Thanks, @divine1966 and @Marie123.

I realize that social media is of little importance, but to him, it seems to be everything. He is texting me these things. I am trying hard to minimize our interactions, but it doesn't always work.

This morning he wanted to call to talk about the remaining items he has to pick up in the apartment. I simply told him to just let me know if he plans on coming by after work today. I don't want to talk to him.

I may get that book - the Verbally Abusive Relationship.

I do think of him as being mentally ill. I know he's unstable and unwell. And I know I am on edge because I don't know when the next blowout will be or what I will get from him next. His hostility and gaslighting or insults and demeaning comments? Now he's being nice but he could turn on a dime. It makes me very much on edge, and I am trying hard to avoid him.
