It's good you saw that JKF. Get angry. See him for who he has become with all the manipulations and deceptions. My SO would say to me right about now, "he's making it easy." And he is. He's making it easy for you to remember to detach. To remember what it says in the difficult child handbook, Step #38---- *when using manipulation, forget all that has been given to you and focus on what you don't have and what you believe will hurt them the most so they give you what you want out of guilt*
Copy that sucker and post it somewhere you can see it next time your heart flutters with the "he's my baby boy" thoughts..............
You are absolutely making the right decision. His response is exactly the response most of our kids have when we stop.
It feels bad JKF, but you're doing very well. Have a glass of wine and toast yourself..............good job.
