[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 556610, member: 14557"] I absolutely hate this. difficult child came home for few days (he was sent to minors, we live near the minors team) and it has been horribly awkward. difficult child is a mess. Being sent down is a blow to ego, but that he seems to be handling. But he is very anxious that he will screw up again and not get his act together as his coaches expect. He isn't really being obnoxious, like he usually would with that kind of feelings but sulking and being very touchy and whiny on random matters. And very, very tightly wound. But still, sulking teen I can handle, I have plenty of experience on that. (I wouldn't mind some board juju for him doing well in his next games, he could really use a positive spin in sport, that would help also out of the field.) It is a sulking husband I have trouble with. He doesn't talk to difficult child, he doesn't even look at him. However he is eye-rolling, sighing, making mouth noises and other non verbal communication in the way that makes me unsure which one of them was a teen boy and which one was supposed to be an adult... Luckily difficult child will be at home only few days and will then be back to his own home. But of course just having some distance doesn't really solve anything, just keeps thing manageable. But yeah, now it is very clear there is something going on with husband and it probably has very little to do with difficult child. He just happens to be a perfect scapegoat. This just isn't like husband at all. Unfortunately husband doesn't seem willing to talk with me about what really is wrong with him. [/QUOTE]
