[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 132254, member: 3647"] I have to completely disagree with Marg. Saying "I'm sorry YOU feel this way" is smarmy and not an apology at all. If you feel that you need to apologize, then apologize for what you did. If you don't feel like you did anything wrong, than by all means, do not apologize. People need not apologize for how other people feel. We don't MAKE them feel that way. They choose to feel the way they want to feel. She chose to take what you said as yelling at her. It is HER problem. What you COULD say is "I'm sorry if my words hurt you". But that is up to you. You could also leave well enough alone. I DO completely agree with MWM. She is a catalyst, and his issues are most likely WAY deeper than what you are seeing now. Yes, puppy love is all too real to teenagers, but most can handle a break up without threatening suicide. This girl is toxic and controlling, and in her defense, she probably learned that behavior growing up. But your son does not need to be a part of it. Nor should he be self medicating with pot. That is your gateway drug. And what it leads to can be very dangerous. There are drugs out there that I never even heard of when I was out there being stupid on drugs. Gentle hugs, you have a lot on your plate. [/QUOTE]
