[QUOTE="JaneBetty, post: 707962, member: 20814"] Lost, if there's one thing I've learned over the last few years, it is this: most of our friends and acquaintances know we were adequate parents and some of them experienced trying times with their children as well. So, any time our daughter would threaten to "expose us for the rotten and abusive" parents that she considered us to be was met with silence or indifference from us. We simply decided that we weren't going to be put in a defensive position. Over time, I realized that most people are involved in their own little dramas of victory or defeat, and though your son might be posting ugly, untrue things about his upbringing, most people would profess a passing interest in his version before turning their focus back on themselves. It would be fruitless to counter what he says with the truth, you are only going to feed his fire. [/QUOTE]
