[QUOTE="Beta, post: 756217, member: 22597"] Good advice--thank you. I'm trying to not expect any kind of attitude from him--either negative or positive--because he can go either way, and if I expect one or the other I can end up reacting badly. If he seems to want to be by himself and not interact, we tend to step back and leave him be; only offering what he might need or want at that moment (food we're fixing; throwing laundry in with ours, etc.) Other times, if he seems to want to talk (He likes to talk about history and politics; although we try to avoid the politics a good deal because our views are nowhere near where his are and it could cause conflict), then we talk/listen.
