Well, to be more precise, at that time it was one person and he was abusive. So he would go off on a diatribe, trying to pin me down to answer his questions and raise his voice and go on and on with the grilling and I would just say sorry - I'm falling asleep lol
He was aware of the sleeping thing so I don't think it surprised him much and in retrospect it was a great thing. You are so stressful to be around you make me have to sleep!
Although it had zero impact on him of course, nothing was learned from it - because hey, when you are that self-centered nothing is getting through.
Well I'm glad you had that talk, it is kind of sad, but then again lots of people don't have certain expectations and just kind of go through life trying to be happy, so it's not a huge surprise perhaps, especially when addiction has been a big part of his life.
It might have a positive outcome for you.
