googley, unfortunately, we share a bedroom, since I'm renting a flat, so I can't do that. Making him leave my bed using force (surprisingly, he didn't put up a fight at all) didn't really work.. As soon as I would fall back asleep, he would just sneak in again. However, I've noticed that he stopped talking about sex so much (he won't make those sexual comments as often anymore). So maybe we're getting somewhere, after all.
lynn P., thank you for clearing that up. Maybe I will look it up and read more on the symptoms. When I ask him that, he just says that he wants to. Sometimes he will say that's he's scared to be on his own. And yes, I'm sure that he does remember because when I try to make him talk about it during the day, he gets really withdrawn and uncomfortable. He tries to act as if nothing happened, but I can see that he knows he did something wrong.
I'm trying to go along with the plan, I think it's going ok so far, except the bed sharing part. But I think that making him go to college was even worse than taking away the drugs. At first, he was acting like he was possessed when he found out that he's got no choice but to start attending. But I didn't change my mind, which I'm quite glad about, because I was very close to that, he was acting totally hysterical and I didn't know what to do. Now he won't try to argue over that but he seems... I really don't know, weird somehow. When he comes back, he's very quiet, and seems even more apathetic for a while. He looks nervous in the mornings, though. Of course, I've asked him about that but he wouldn't tell me.
He was quite angry about the sedatives but I think he got over it now. Still, he often seems very restless during the evening and he said that he can't get more than max 4hrs of sleep (I'm pretty sure that he's not lying since he spends half of the night moving to different beds.....).
Still, what I found surprising, is that his whole attitude towards me changed now. He's never as rude anymore, like he used to be. What I've also noticed, is that he constantly wants to spend time with me, like he suggests we watch a movie together and stuff like that. It looks to me like he's glad that I've time off work and I'm able to pay a lot more attention to him. Still, one thing I found a bit weird, was that he tried to give me his pendant - which is actually his most treasured possession because he's basically been given it when he was born and had it ever since. I didn't take it and when I've asked him why would he do that, he just said that it was supposed to be a 'thank you' for taking care of him. I'm really not sure how to interpret that, maybe I'm just trying to read too much into his behavior. I think he feels guilty, because today he kept saying that he's a burden to me. Of course, I told him I like to have him around etc. but he didn't seem convinced.
But I think he's slowly trying to get a grip on himself again because he actually cleaned up the house a bit today. He even got rid of some of his old stuff.
I have an appointment with a counselor tomorrow. Unfortunately, he doesn't want to go with me, but I will go anyway, and talk to the counselor about the whole situation.
Once again, thanks for all the support!
