[QUOTE="mamato3, post: 714435, member: 22015"] Quick update: son did go to baseball game with us. He was pretty blah, spent lots of time on his phone scrolling social media. No issues as he barely spoke and we did not know what to say to him. We are also in our way home. He is sleeping. Was compliant. Yes, I gave in, and I'm not happy with myself about it. Baby steps. I agree he is abusive. He agrees he is abusive. I asked him if he thought therapy could help him break the cycle. He shrugged, but at least he considered it. As of now, he wants help. That changes often, though so we will see what happens when his appointment day arrives. I really think if ex would not engage, he could find his way. Maybe. He values his relationship with me. I value my relationship with him. And, I am learning to not engage and I think that could help a lot. I am not opposed to detaching if things don't change drastically. He has an evaluation appointment in 4 days. He has an upcoming therapy appointment. I am looking to get him into DBT. HOWEVER, his symptoms are real and I want to at least point him in the right direction. Should he choose to continue his rants and abuse, I will have to be strong and remove him. [/QUOTE]
