[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 508070, member: 6705"] :hugs: Sounds like my 13-y/o, aside from the fact that Jett lives with us and has, full time, for almost 5 years. When you give him choices... Limit them. Kids with social issues - especially developmental ones - can get overwhelmed. So, some night for dinner: Hey, Stevie, should we have CORN or LIMA BEANS? FWIW - the "sorry" is very familiar, too... And here is where I am going to say something that may not be the case but threw up red flags for me. People that have been abused tend to apologize A LOT. When husband and I first moved in together, he would apologize for having to go to the bathroom. Jett [I]still[/I] apologizes for a LOT of things that don't reallly require an apology. And... All those game systems? Very well could be a bribe to NOT say anything. Or so she doesn't have to spend any time with him. And even so... All it could be is repeatedly making comments about how much she has had to sacrifice for him, blaming him for the breakup... A comment here and a comment there, and it starts to cause minor damage. But a single drip can carve a canyon over time. [/QUOTE]
