[quote=Anonymous]This sounds so hard. I’m so sorry. I don’t think he is going to learn body language. I think there’s hope if he can start accepting and validating your direct descriptive words about how you feel and what you need. I think he needs a DBT therapist to work with individually… and work on not getting so dysregulated by requests from you. Marital therapy won’t change his hair-trigger… that’s something HE needs to work on. No one can live well with someone who gets dysregulated over everything. I’m speaking as the mom of an auDHD older teen so take what I say with a grain of salt… but I just don’t think “learning” the body language is a realistic goal. I think your goalposts here should be: - you not having to deal with so much emotional hair-trigger behavior from him, and - get him to respect your feelings (and acknowledge that feelings are different from “facts”.)[/quote]
