 He spent a lot of time in stuck record mode, repeating the same things, especially popular psychology which he appeared to have been fed. I felt sad that a man his age, 73 then, was using bad popular psychology instead of wisdom.  When he was hurting me by playing with housing, stealing my medical data, He would repeat 'You're beating yourself up, that's your responsibility'. You know how in films, bullies use their victims' own hands to hit them and say they're hitting themselves.
