but coach, i'm not guessing or inferring. those are facts. i've witnessed the millions of times his mother has said that he was right. i've never heard her say that he was wrong or that he was off by a bit. it was always "you're right. you're so smart. you just know everything. you were the best child. you were the most well behaved. you would never hurt a fly. you did the best in your class." argh!!!!! it's called enmeshment. not necessarily codependency.
if he wasn't pissed off at me about the money that he thinks i'm taking from him, would he be hurting me or would he just want to walk away? me thinks he'd just walk away.
