Dear Katie:

You are welcome.

“he was definitely jekyl/ hyde- if you reunite with him, you will be reuniting with Jekyll and with Hyde.

“his mother was diagnosed with depression.. his sister was diagnosed with bipolar disorder”- his home was sickening enough to lead to his sister’s diagnosis of bipolar disorder. His home sickened him too.

“physically together things were ok, although he did have the jealousy issue. Apart was when I experienced his passive aggressiveness and OCD movies”- physically together with you, he was relatively calm; physically apart, he felt abandoned by you, so he got angry: angry at you for abandoning him, is my understanding.

He is not a well man, his mental issues are understandable, given his home of origin. His mental issues have a long, long history and are very, very unlikely to be resolved without him putting all of himself into therapy,  massively.

What do you know.. I got to know him better today. Jigsaw puzzles, yes, I remember those, it’s been a long time.
