-"I just need to lay down for 15 minutes..."
(Passes out in next room and then I am attacked by his barking dog once I walk in there, not even me screaming wakes him up)
-"I'm bipolar"
This is what he used to always tell me when we first started seeing each other, and it worked for quite sometime...Very clever, actually to fool someone who doesn't know you that well. I'm still not 100% positive, but I think it was a carefully crafted cover-up. Even still if you are, that is not an excuse to not help yourself. Took me a very long time to realize that.
-"I've been thinking lately..(about his using and getting help)"
Oh really, what have you DONE ABOUT IT??!!!
-"I can't get help now, I have too much **** to do"
-"You're crazier than I am"
-"They'll stare at me in the waiting room. i don't need ppl judging me like that"
Upon being asked why he feels uncomfortable about getting help.
"I'll find someone who loves me for me"
What do u call supporting someone through HELL?
And the ever repeated over and over countless times and ways:
"You don't love me"
"You hate me"
"You don't even care"
"If you cared you wouldn't leave me again"
O they are so good at getting ya aren't they. Its really amazing. I still wonder if the manipulation is conscious.
