[quote=Anonymous]It took me a while to realize this myself, because I like to see the best in people, and am easily guilted, despite knowing I am one of the most positive forces in their life right now.

-When he angers you or acts out, just open a word doc or something and write down how you feel, it could be venting, reflecting on a particular action that set him off, or something. Goal is to have you with rosy glasses look back at this and have a reminder of your reality.

-Make predictions, so for example I would get bad behavior if I went away for work for 4-5 days. Usually it would be a pattern of nice at first, then by day 2 after Im no longer useful, I'd get lashing out, and by day 4-5, it's back to I miss you. If you see something like this coming, just for fun try predicting his actions, through the perspective of " am I useful to him right now or am I no longer useful" especially if he has a time frame of only caring about the next 24 hours, and not long term planning.
