I think we all have our insecurities and our demons and when the going gets rough, some people cave into whatever those darker characteristics are.
It is sad to watch someone I love act like a caricature...he had some of these traits but they were just spokes of a many faceted wheel, now it is like the id is on steroids. But, he is toiling and he is trying in his own way.
Honestly, I'm closer and closer to just wanting no contact...I don't know, it is sad. I mean the clearer I get, the more compassion I have and the more I just feel sorry for him.
But, on the upside, I'm still feeling pretty good!
