"32. Don't believe anything you hear and less 50% of what you see..."
I know how hard it is. But I. Try to remember something a counselor told my family once about my alcoholic brother and it applies here as well. "This is irrational behaviour, you can't rationalize irrational behaviour". So when he's saying mean things it just has to be ignored even though it is so dang hard to do so sometimes. Ill wait until I know I'm alone and ill bury my face in a pillow and cry my eyes out. It seems to help but in front of her I just ignore it.
