Bingo... He did this. Not you. You don't have the power to keep him from anything. He is doing this.

Sweetie, drop that rope. It's not a tug-of-war, it's a drowning man trying to pull you down with him. Don't react.

It just makes me feel bad
Of course you feel bad, you're human. But don't feel guilty. that is a big difference. Be true to yourself.

I have to stay strong, and NOT enable him.
And we are all behind you, sweetie. Don't let him pressure you. This is the same old same old for him. He wants something, he pouts and threatens and stomps his foot until he gets it. So, just don't react to his tantrum. YOU DIDN'T CREATE THIS!
