[QUOTE="ctmom05, post: 411494, member: 2901"] The very difficult situations that our adult "kids" become immersed in can be way beyond the comprehension of friends and family; conversation stoppers. Our 23 year old is in prison, unsentenced, with a bond of over $1,000,000. I've learned to steer a conversation in a more positive direction if it gets stalled because folks just don't know what to say. Saying your daughter has gone to another state is a decent way to address what she's doing - you're not obligated to share details. Sometimes I take a moment to remind myself that conversations don't need to center around the choices that my son has made; there are lots of others things to talk about. [/QUOTE]
