Kissak,

I am trying to remember back to our conversations in April/May.
Maybe I will go look them up but what comes to mind for me right now is that he is not and has not been done with his crisis. Maybe he is leaving depression stage and going into withdrawal. You must dig deeper for more patience. In withdrawal stage they can become the opposite of who they were.

You have done nothing wrong but you must stay detached and let him work this out on his own. When he is saying that he has to work things out, that is exactly true. During withdrawal there is more processing and decisions to be made.

Going into the bathroom and locking the door is like a teenager action. He still has more growing to do.

I hope I am reading this all correctly and he has truly entered this stage. I will go back and try to read our conversations from the spring and see if I can remember anything else.

No matter what keep your expectations low and stay detached and you will be fine. smile
