[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 697164, member: 17542"] AR---something you wrote reminded me of early on when my Difficult Child began smoking cigarettes. I kept smelling cigarettes on him and asking "are you smoking? Surely you aren't smoking cigarettes when they are so bad for you and we have talked about this so many times and you have always said how much you hate cigarettes..." His response: mom do you really think I would ever smoke cigarettes? It is awful and I have always hated it you know that...on and on...it's all my friends who smoke and that is what you smell on me and in my car...on and on... ...and I actually believed it. I mean, I really could not get my mind around him smoking as he had railed against it and still was. I was incredibly naive about so much for so long. And he was really good at lying about everything. Shows you how far I had to come... [/QUOTE]
