What a weekend...

Serenity,

Thanks for the post. Very enlightening...

I'm just not sure how equipped he is at the age of 14 to practice these skills.

One thing he has told me he is angry because W seems to point the finger of blame back at him. He resents that and says "Why should I behave" when "She doesn't see that she is making me angry." So, it's a "Why is this all on me?" feeling. He doesn't like that everyone has to accommodate her and is defiant to change his behavior patterns if she won't change hers. As an adult, I can accept that I have to change my behavior and that can have an effect on another, but from his point-of-view that is an alien thought process...

BTW, how are you doing these days? I'll check in over at your thread, but last time I did, it seemed like you were in a much, much better place.
