[QUOTE="UpandDown, post: 700985, member: 19025"] ksm, I feel your pain. The way your daughter "shares" with you is very familar. I have very similar conversations with son that are very very hard to get through. I have learned that if I say anything at all negative or somehow give away that i don't agree with him, the conversation quickly escalates into a fight. He likes to pull me into debates about the government or criticize how my husband and I are slaves to be working for someone else and that he is going to make a million dollars doing it his own way etc. Many times, I think he tells me things as a way to work through things. Yet it often involves risky behavior or rude behavior that keeps me awake worrying at night. The other day, we were having a very nice walk with dog in the woods when I brought up what his plans were for after high school. He said it doesn't matter, he will probably roam the country living in his car, living off the land. And if that doesn't work, he is ok to die. So so difficult to hear him say such things. Lately I have been trying to avoid conversation as much as possible and pay more attention to his actions. He is going to school, has a job, and smoking a lot less weed , apologizing to us from time to time for his actions. I wish I knew what was going on with him. This is all newish behavior and perhaps its from smoking so much. [/QUOTE]
