My counselor thinks even though he got mad this is still progress. IDK. I'm not about putting labels on it right now. Time will tell, but I just kind of feel like I am being set up for failure because I know he's not really in a place where he could work on us because he still needs to work on him, but I can't tell him that. He thinks he's great. In that conversation Sunday evening he made a comment about he doesn't want things to go back to the way they were, which I agreed, but the more I thought about it the more annoyed I got, if anyone should be apprehensive about things going back to the way they were it should be me, not him, he really has had it damn good..... so I'm not sure to what he was referring, but it doesn't really matter right now anyway.
Has it occurred to you that may be why he doesn't want things to be how they were? Not because of you, but because of him?

It just seems to me this is about him growing up and breaking away from his mother. I know that can be tough especially if mom is a crackpot and a control freak. Many are where it concerns their sons. Not easy to break away.

I would guess while he does that he's about a nut job himself. But I think he comes and goes for that reason. And the real question is which way will he go now that he started.

I agree with the counselor that the anger is an improvement. wink


Keep up the great work and the great attitude H. Life really is good even if you don't always get to see it at the moment.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
