[QUOTE="witzend, post: 100620, member: 99"] I remember at this age, M would push my buttons, then [i]he[/i] would try to [i]leave[/i] (go play video games at a friends or generally not do homework/household chores, etc. which is probably what he wanted in the first place), saying he needed to step away from [i]my[/i] turmoil. husband used to buy into that one and it made me crazy! I agree, 17 is too old to have to worry about his safety being alone. I hope you will find it in you to turn on your heel and walk out. Even for five minutes. Kind of like a time out when they were young to defuse the situation. [/QUOTE]
