Quote: You live this way because S14 has become your X, while your enabling X's behaviors have transformed him into an unruly, undisciplined bratty 14 year old boy. That's how he's acting.
I'll respond a little more to others later, but this really hits home. S14 *has* become the more adult of the two and is (mostly) sweet and affectionate and responsible and a great companion, while X acts pretty much like a surly adolescent....
Imagine how life is going to be in a few years, when S14 leaves home....
