[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He sounds mentally rigid, OP. How frustrating. [/quote]

Totally. I think his rigidity and way of thinking have isolated him from other kinds of socializing so everything is getting dumped in DC.[/quote]

Hmm. Do you think he's on the spectrum?

No, I know he’s on the spectrum![/quote]

Well then, why are you surprised? It's par for the course when they're angry and in denial that they're acting punitively, to somehow follow a logical reasoning to its irrational end and claim something completely crazy, oblivious to the fact that everyone else knows it's crazy and that everyone else is judging them. My husband did that in the first years of our marriage - now he's way less stressed, and hasn't acted out in a really long time.

This has nothing to do with the parent-child relationship. It's not about his child, even though he might claim it is. It's about assuaging his massive anxiety brought on by the failure of his relationships, by asserting control of the decision-making, regardless of who gets hurt or what's actually right to do. He will of course never admit to any of that, because he has zero self-awareness.

I hope his lawyer will beat some sense into him. Stick to your guns.[/quote]
