[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 619748, member: 15801"] Oh I think her intentions were good... dont think she was saying anything about me. I do have some baggage because of course she has known my son forever and it is kind of embarrassing where he has ended up etc. I think though it just struck me as so easy to say our job is to keep them safe but in fact that is impossible sometimes. Actually it is impossible with PCs to... unless you keep them completely away from the world and then illnesses etc. can happen. But I think it is this message that with a kid who is using drugs that somehow we have the control and ability to at least keep them safe.... when we dont. I think in general society gives parents a lot more control than we actually have!! I guess the difference is with my easy child I trust her to make good decisions, and for the most part she does, and she talks to me about all of them anyway so I really dont worry about her much. With a gifg it is so much harder. TL Sent from my iPad using ConductDisorders [/QUOTE]
