ss,

Thanks for the feedback - I have ALWAYS until now - been sucked in when he starts to spew like this.

He is so angry. Trying to point out that he's wrong will only make him angrier.

I used to tell myself that he wasn't just half-brained on this, but primarily trying to punish me with the things he said and did.
But now, I can see this was really holding me back. Making it about me.

Better to see things from his POV - he's angry and suffering and so confused that he just lashes out to get what he wants in an unjust world.
