Thanks for being willing to share this! I feel that no one ever wants to be seen as “the bad guy”, but I think stories like this are so important for people to understand what it means to be in relationship with someone who battles with their mental health. Your situation is really just chalked up to being young and ignorant of such things (as most people have been until recent years).

It’s good that more people are becoming aware of these things, and it’s nice to hear that things are going well for him. I’m sure there are people who will learn from your experience!
