I don't personally see in your thread places where any of my flags raise about "abuse". Mind you, I am a survivor of domestic marital violence.
When living with someone, it's natural that there will be ups and downs.
Are you finding ways to make new friends and social circles where you are?

Thank you for sharing information about your son. It must have been difficult and I am happy that he was able to come to a place where he is calm and communicative.
I do not believe that it is abuse but I do think it is a difficult trait to deal with. I would like to believe that it can be improved upon with his effort and myself setting stronger boundaries.
I have spent time with some of his friends but I have not tried to make very many of my own friends. I think I have Been really closed off to new people. I am slow to warm up to people and I had many close friends in my home state I still talk to every day. I have been talking this current issue through with several of my friends.
