[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 678234, member: 18516"] Oh Penny, I have been there so many time with my son. I truly believe in moments like this they set us up. I have learned over time it doesn't matter our response, they will turn it around on us. When I find myself in this situation I keep my response very simple and benign. I usually say something like "that's interesting" whether I think it is or not. Of course sometimes no matter what we say they just want to argue, debate or belittle us. Yup, he totally set you up. Well your heart was in the right place. You wanted to help him. I've been there and so have others. Don't be hard on yourself, just chalk it up to lesson learned. I truly have lost count of how many "second chances" I gave my son only to have him trample all over me and my heart. [USER=12856]@pasajes4[/USER] , I haven't heard this in a long time but oh how true it is when it comes to our d_cs. Hang in there Penny, you have one more month to go. Remember, YOU are a WARRIOR parent. You will get through this and you will once again have peace in your home. :staystrong::group-hug: [/QUOTE]
