[QUOTE="kaf, post: 54351, member: 3853"] After my divorce I had a little over one nice year living alone. I never got bored or lonesome. Now my 22 yr old son is living with me and I'm finding that I don't miss my time alone yet. He's very high maintenance and I have to stay on my toes. Right now he's living with me in my one room studio apt. There's no where to go to get away from him except the extremely small bathroom with no airconditioning! I've had to walk out and take a walk or leave in my car. He's wearing me out and I don't always know how to handle his explosive temper and rants. He can go on and on for an hour or more mostly repeating the same stuff. If I even make a facial expression in reaction to something he's said, he will go off even more. So far this morning, things are okay. He left to run some errands so I have a little peace. A friend recently suggested that I find a support group for myself. I can't believe I never thought of that. I've always worked on getting help for him and never thought that there might be some help for me which in turn would benefit him, I hope. Any advice or empathy out there? [/QUOTE]
