Dear Amy:

I am getting to …know him more as we exchange more posts. Good answer: he expressed those behaviors with you, therefore it is his behavior. He owns that behavior. And I can see how a child will emulate such. You going to countless patenting classes is admirable as well as counseling sessions and I suppose he did none of these.

You wrote that you have been a lot better (calmer?) since “withholding contact”- you mean avoiding contact with him???
