You have been doing this a little longer than me from your register date. You can probably quote the MLC resources as well as I can, OR you have forgotten on purpose (like me) alot of it as well.
The stages are just guideline remember? And in no real set order. Anger is one of them, and according to the resources it is an outward manisfestation of the anger they feel for themselves for their Confusion. (blah blah blah, trite answers for a difficult situation doesn't make it any less true or painful)
What is the next stage? Is it going to rain tomorrow or in a week? Find out when it happens as there is no set pattern.
His mother's interference concerns me.
You see what she is saying to you.
What I wonder is what is she saying to him? I wonder just how much her taking care of her son really bothers her? Some mothers will complain all the live long day about their thankless tasks but feel unfullfilled unless doing them.
I AM the first one to say that these are unanswereable questions.
Now imagine him living there with this mother, I see her nagging him all the time, hell I wouldn't want to be in that house either.
Can you get through this Ever?
