Oh, I know, Captain. I didn't always know, but I know now. And that's what matters.
He's still got the outward look only... the inward look for him is proving to be a lot more difficult.
Not my problem.
Even when I reached out to him for support, he couldn't just listen. He had to FIX. He had to CONTROL. He had to MANIPULATE. All the while, telling me that he loved me... that he misses me... that he wants to see me. At several points in the conversation, my head was actually cocked to the side with a look of "Wha?" on my face. Like I said, it was baffling.
He's not really working his program, and he's lying to himself about it.
Again, not my problem. However, it will become a problem for me should I reach out to him again.
But I won't. I have an excellent support system to lean on, I don't need his rhetoric.
