With Charlie, it sounds like he is using you for his locus of control, I think that is the term. When he has events that overwhelm him, he looks to you to be able to hold it all together. My younger daughter has some anxiety issues and this has seemed to be the deal alot of the time, so I work to make myself available. The catch is that they are able to do that for themselves as they get older, so they can make it on their own. My older daughter just did her first year of college thing and found that there were many things that she just didn't have the skills for on her own. It also convinced her that what she always took for slightly Aspergerish traits may be more than we had considered, she's been in the process of seeking counseling to work on a diagnosis and help. All through the years the doctors would just credit her oddities in functioning to the fact that she is highly gifted. Good luck on finding abalence in it all.
As too the possessed Ipod, that is just too funny-have you figured out who is possessing it yet?
