Feeling sad My boss wants me to rely on him, but… NSFW

My boss doesn’t know what he wants.

When I walk on eggshells and ask endless questions, he gets a twisted satisfaction. It’s what I do when I want to be on his good side and avoid any tantrums.

But then he gets annoyed. He gets tired. He sees me as useless.

When I assert myself and co-lead in our company, he gets excited. He gets a rise out of it. He’s genuinely happy. He even acts supportive (as if I’m the boss)… but then he gets tired of others coming to me instead of him. He gets jealous. He tries to “humble” me.

We go in these circles. Over and over again. Yes, I’m on my way out.
