Hey Ses,
What you're describing sounds a lot like "push/pull" behavior. You push him away one time, then the next you're pulling him way too close. This happens a lot with adult children of alcoholics. We've spent years burying our feelings, ergo we don't know how to deal with them in a healthy way. Awareness of what you're doing wrong is the first step towards getting it right.
The Alanon program has a lot of great tools that can help you along the way.
Glad you dropped in, stick around.
