[QUOTE="klmno, post: 525357, member: 3699"] I'm thinking about doing something with my smoking, too. I don't know if I can make it but my difficult child has told me he doesn't want to try it anymore because he considers it a gateway- not his exact words- and that sticks to my mind. DJ, I think Tony needs to see that hurt feeling, and you need to see and acknowledge his hurt feelings. That's how you reconnect sometimes. Get thru the defensiveness and back to the caring- both of you. I can see why your feelings are hurt but I can't see why his are but I still think he's acting like they are and he has a different perspective that you need to uncover so you two can get back on the same page. Everyone wants you two to make it thru this. like you always have, if it's at all possible. [/QUOTE]
