[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think anyone needed to go search for him, but my cousin was worried because he didn’t answer her calls. He did come home. Says he just drove around and doesn’t want to talk.

He actually didn’t finish the few tasks he was asked to do. Yes, it sucks to give up a rain free Saturday, but why wouldn’t you want your child’s grandmother to have a warm, safe home as the weather gets colder. Even if your child never goes over there, your partner would be worried about her mom, right?

I don’t think “Ben” has an anger issue so much as a not knowing how to be in a functioning family issue. [b]He thinks offers of help are just a way to obligate him to pay it back with future favors. The result is that his life is much more stressful since he has taken on the task of trying to support three people himself. My cousin could work, but he doesn’t want the baby in daycare.[/b]

I’m just worried labeling him with an anger issue will isolate him more. He’s never been violent, just immature. And I think he would benefit from individual therapy to work out issues from his younger years. [/quote]

It sounds as though he has an awful lot on his plate for a 23 year old.  He is working and supporting both his baby and his soon to be wife.  He was probably feeling resentful having to spend the better part of his day off helping to fix an older relative's house.[/quote]
