[QUOTE="Andy, post: 170498, member: 5096"] Wow!! Does he ever have your emotional buttons labled and place within his reach. Time for you to practice detachment big time. Next time he says something mean to you, pretend you are a psychologist trying to understand what he just said. Very nonchalantly ask, "Why would you say that?" Make it as a curious question, not a challenging accusation. Use a that is interesting attitude. It also may be time to start calling him on this. When he told you that you are not allowed to be happy, you can confidently reply, "Oh yes I am. Everyone is." If it does get nasty, he can get time outs for this also. I need to go now but will think some more on this. [/QUOTE]
