My step father has behaved pretty erratically for the last 15 years or so. My mother divorced him 3 years ago because he wasn’t willing to seek help. She just told him that she got remarried and it has sent him into a spiral. He is being very vague about some mystery illness he says he’s going through right now. I receive dozens of texts from him a day. Many of these texts are very hard to follow, but I have been trying to keep up. He only pouts and gets mad when I mention he needs to see a counselor. I paid for him to see one about 4 times, but he says the counselor says he’s good to go. He is a compulsive liar. At no time do I believe he was honest with the counselor he saw. He can tell I am not really buying into this sickness thing, and I think it’s really frustrating him. I am the only child and I want him to be healthy. That said, I don’t have the mental energy to play this game he wants me to play. He constantly tries to make people feel sorry for him and I believe this is just another amped up attempt to do the same. I really want to kind of cut ties until he’s willing to seek help, but I also feel a lot of guilt in doing so. I know this post is all over the place, but I am letting him impact my family’s life and do NOT want to do that. Any advice?
