[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 741016, member: 23349"] Trying, if he calls you on it or gets upset, I would just say ‘yes, I did call, because I love you and I’m concerned.’ Don’t get defensive and don’t let him make you feel bad. On some level he might appreciate knowing that, even if he doesn’t show it now. Whether there is an element of manipulation in this or just plain depression, you are doing everything you can. And if he uses this as an excuse to quit IOP that’s on him, not you - anyone who would quit for that reason is not really committed to the program and is just looking for excuses. If it wasn’t this it would be something else. I feel for him in his depression. Sadly, we all have to go through these ‘dark nights of the soul’ alone. Sending prayers that he will come through this and find a better place soon. [/QUOTE]
