I want to make damn sure I'm keeping myself in reality, and that leads to questioning myself and my perceptions- "am I making too much out of this? am I distorting the facts?"
SB,
People who are distorting reality to suit their own ends tend not to ask themselves these sorts of questions. The nature of a board like this one, it's anonymity, lends itself to candor. From what I have read by you, you are not making too much out of the things you have experienced.
My concern for you, with regard to the distortion of reality, is the altered reality your H has created. His behavior is designed to have you question yourself. There is nothing wrong with your reactions; you are reacting as anyone would under these circumstances. Your H, it seems to me, is a very deft manipulator.
Please keep up the IC and only the IC for a while. I agree with Carlos that this is not the time for MC.
