[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 581714, member: 14557"] MWM: I suspect he may be functioning this well precisely because he is a difficult child. I suspect there is lots of compartmentalization going on here. He can keep himself functioning and concentrates to that, but the better footing he gets, more likely he is to start acting out. I of course hope he doesn't but I'm not at all surprised if he will start to do so. I of course fear relapse, but can also easily imagine him trying to pick fights at bars (and really try, it would not be like him to start outright physical aggression, he would make other one to hit first) or more hopefully with the team mates/coaches. Or go to very ill-timed drinking binge or cheat his girlfriend in some especially idiotic way. difficult child's MO is to be passive-aggressive and act out some sly, backhanded way or just annoy the snot out of other people and make them do something to it. But even knowing all that I'm happy to see fight back in him. The dead-eyed zombie from week ago was frightening. I also talked with one of his coaches yesterday. He too told that difficult child is finding a fight again and he was happy about that. He said that he had dreamed before what a pleasure it would be to coach docile and obedient difficult child, but didn't find the experience to be quite what he had hoped for. [/QUOTE]
