[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 506741, member: 3444"] Janet, what he wants is complicated. Talking used to be part of it, but a small part. I have no idea if he was ever abused sexually. I know there was a LOT of verbal abuse and a degree of neglect. But I do think it's more related to hypomania. He's done some risky "bowling" things in completely inappropriate places and spent a small fortune on bowling accessories... all pointing to his illness in my humble opinion. And if you criticized him in the least or told him "no" to something he felt entitled to, it turned into a very ugly fight. Thank God those days are past. Like I said, he's doing better, and since going back on Lamictal he seems to have turned a big corner, but those old thought patterns are nigh impossible to completely erase. And I think his focusing on what he perceives as a "lack of bowling opportunity" on our trip, rather than the merits of the trip itself, is a perfect example of that perpetually spinning, though possibly slower, wheel in his head.
