[QUOTE="detachingmother, post: 682281, member: 20063"] Finally, a good day. Put a few bucks on son's account after taking another "break". No arguing, no demands...a little respect goes a long way, he is learning albeit he's a slow learner. He said the books I sent him a month ago were good (Man's Search for Meaning Viktor Frankl-and The Five People You Meet in Heaven, I think was the second one, just know it was Mitch Albom). Now he's reading one he said was called, "The Five Languages of love." Said he's trying to learn how to be more caring and loving toward girlfriend. Not sure...seems he still doesn't understand when it comes to his girlfriend, he isn't the only problem. It might help. It shows me he is still caring about the future and making it better, but also shows me he's feeling like all of this is because something to do with him not being good enough for girlfriend--Like he thinks if only he was better to girlfriend, things would get better---something like that...having hard time wording it. He's taking some initiative himself. So hard to tell though when we are being manipulated, but for now I will take it at face value. Any day where I can talk in a nice way with Son is a better day. :) [/QUOTE]
