He's not there anymore. The story isn't finished. He's in therapy. Calm down and develop some reading comprehension before you come out swinging.

He still sounds crazy and immature. And if he's still gambling I think he's in for serious trouble.
I don't enjoy reading about people describing out of control insane behavior with a boasting undercurrent like there is anything at all to be proud of in his actions.
It screams major denial. Just like his justifications of Allison's behavior screems denial. Denial of who he is, denial of who Allison is, denial of the nature of the relationship, denial of his lack of control over himself and his gambling habits, and I think it's safe to guess - denial of other major issues in his life.
I don't like his writing style - it seems surprisingly illiterate for someone who considers himself such an academic whiz kid. (Overestimation of his own abilities and accomplishments - more denial but mixed with narcissism this time.)
I would not normally be so critical of this type of behavior. I's just that there seems to be an element of pride and boasting throughout his posts that I find offensive considering what he's describing.
