[QUOTE="witzend, post: 604670, member: 99"] Suzir, when we had such troubles with M when he was younger, and he was facing homelessness and telling the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) people [I][B]huge[/B][/I] whoppers about his life at home, we told him that he would have to apologize for lies that he was caught red-handed at that very moment before we considered bringing him home. He said - and it wasn't the first time - "I will [I]never in my life[/I] apologize to [I]anyone [/I]for [I]anything.[/I] I have my reasons for doing what I do and I'm never wrong." Well, that was the [I]last[/I] time he told us that, because we never bothered to ask for another one. He didn't come home, either. I'm just appalled at how rare it is for someone to just say "I'm sorry." None of us are perfect and we all make mistakes and do stupid/mean/careless things sometimes. It isn't going to kill anyone to say "I was wrong. I'm sorry." without adding a caveat. [/QUOTE]
