[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 590979"] Hi I don't normally post here so sorry if I step on any toes. You've already commented on a problem with his threats; you don't know what he considers supportive. Eventually you will say something to tick him off. Then he will explode and because he "warned" you not to say what he didn't want you to then in his mind you deserve his abuse. He is not going to cut you off. He is to emotionally needy. You've said that he hardly spoke to you before this. I'm guessing that it is his need that drove him to call you in the first place. I'm also guessing that there is no one else to fill his emotional needs. So, until he finds someone else or isn't going through a rough time he isn't going to cut you off. I'd call his bluff. Tell him to be nice to you or no more contact until he can be nice. He has no one else to turn to. This might be a learning experience that mom is not an emotional/verbal punching bag. This is just my 2 cents, and I haven't been a parent to a 35 yr old. So it might not be worth much. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
