They will threaten you if you don't do what they say, and really, they can't do anything. It's a lie.
But, it's scary and hard to deal with.  There are other people here who probably have better advice. |
Hi Faerie Moon, TY. I'm not really looking for a diagnosis, just want to understand and cope. The fact that they lie is a good point. Maybe I can find a way to help him see this. I'm just so hesitant because I don't get it so if I try to give him advice will I screw it up and make him feel worse? It's like planning the birds and bees talk, but much more nerve racking because I don't know the answers!!
