Hi guys! John, the reason was the fact that I said I was ready (finished coking) to go downstairs to my parents that had been waiting for us. He said "ok in a minute" but didnt make a move to get off the couch and get ready. So, I said "I am going downstairs, ok?" He got furious, saying I am controlling him or trying to and that "old habbits die hard". It was really out of context. He was already a bit edgy when he heard we were having dinner at my parents house, he never said he had a problem, he saw that I had not made the table, so I assumed he knew. He said he didnt and that I should have asked him. I thought that was stupid since the only thing I have expressed as a wish was to spend these times with my dad. So, he had no problem being with them, but he had a problem being in their house (he goes in and out 10 times a day). Weird. I think he was trying to set boundaries... K
