[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 120359, member: 3208"] I too think it is good that he doesn't like the way you are not being pulled into his dance. He may not take control over his own life til he really has to--that was my experience with my own difficult child. I think you understand this from reading your post. You are doing great--you are well aware of what is going on--you are miles ahead just from understanding what he is doing. We kept trying to help our difficult child, thinking that would give her the push she needed to get going on her own. It took a long time before we realized she would remain helpless til we quit helping her. It was scary to force her to stand on her own 2 feet but the anger and resentment we were feeling helped us along! Hugs, Jane [/QUOTE]
