[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 36092, member: 3579"] That's what I was thinking. Or maybe he's scared to admit that good things are happening because then people will [i]expect[/i] him to "keep it up". So far, every positive change has been because [b]he[/b] chose to make the change. He could, if he wanted to, just as easily "revert" back to his old nasty ways, if he chose to (and so far, he chooses to continue improvement in some areas). I'm hoping it's just him trying to keep his autonomy, and keep our expectations (and demands) low. I hope it isn't some weird need on his part to cause us pain. Planning to bring it up with his therapist, but I thought I'd put it out there for the rest of the CD gang to comment on as well. Thanks, Mikey [/QUOTE]
