Thanks for the comments, everyone. Yes, knowing this does help. And Susie, your comments are very timely-- I was just about to broach the subject. I guess I'll take your comment as the voice of God and put it off.

Edited to add... well I disregarded the voice of God and I did tell him. I said I think some of the rage he feels at the betrayal of his ex is rooted in rage at the betrayal of his innocence by his mom. And I did give the example of the daughter. So sue me. He said the thing with the ex and the thing with his mom are TOTALLY separate and unrelated but he would think about it.
He'll be digesting this for a long time and no doubt he and C will discuss it in private. Actually I shouldn't say "no doubt" because I don't know what they talk about.
Anyway, in addition to my immense compassion over his sitch, I'm having some resentment over "here we go again" with issues of his that need tending and now it will NEVER be my turn to get any goodies. We're always picking up after him. I never claimed to be a saint.
Corri, he will never read PBTS. He is not a reader. Period. Not. Ever. Whatever he learns about the book/method will have to come from me or C.
