It just seems to me from posts and convo's that he is stuck right now.
Is it being stuck or finding his own way to deal with things? I don't see him as being stuck but then again, I haven't talked to him like you have. I see him as trying to deal with the situation without being a doormat. He is standing up to things. Yes, maybe he does have questions regarding certain things but don't we all?
Sorry Trapt, we are talking about you like you are a lab experiment or something.
I guess each of us are at different stages in our situations and we are going to automatically come up with different variations on why someone is doing or not doing certain things. Only the person who is dealing with the situation can know for sure what he/she needs to do.
Ok, Dr. Mozingo is closing shop now. I'm heading over to SoCo's for the tequila!!
