[QUOTE="AmericanGirl, post: 510638"] I think you did great! Could it be that he is enjoying telling you what to do? Come get me. Nevermind. Etc. My Al-anon sponsor recently said she thought difficult child was "getting off" on driving me crazy, a control kind of thing. When I read your post, I remembered that conversation. Years ago, during my divorce, I told my therapist I had gotten out of bed t 3am and was rearranging a perfectly straight closet. He said he wasn't surprised. That everything in my life was out of control but that closet so I was controlling what I could to calm myself. I keep thinking of that in relation to our difficult children....their lives are unmanageable, whether they admit it or not, the addiction controls everything....so maybe in despiration, they try to control anything they can?
