I have tried to explain to my husband many times what helps and what hurts when I'm having an episode. He always tries to help. He's very devoted. But he falls back on what makes sense to him and gets offended when I tell him it's hurtful and not helpful. Then we have conflict and my episode gets much worse. It's a dangerous pattern.

Try 'the shack'. The authors' experiences in his own life are perhaps equivalent to yours, but the book is fictional, but algorithm to his life
Last Saturday my boyfriend was invited to a family function at my uncles house. My dad is an alcoholic which he was well aware of. But my dad got drunk and fell down infront of him. He is also a vegetarian and my family eats meat and he says he didn't fit in with my family and for those reasons he wants to break up.
