[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 27072, member: 1835"] Sue, You know...sometimes I feel that our kids aren't really all that much different than most. I remember, as a child/teenager feeling as though I hated my parents at some times but then loved and appreciated them at other times. But, I feel, at least with my son, that he just doesn't seem to have the self-imposed boundaries in place like "normal" people do that warn you when expressing your feelings MIGHT not be such a good idea. I used to think that my son was simply more "honest" than most, and that that was a good, healthy thing because he had no problem expressing his feelings, despite what others might think. I probably encouraged that... However, now, I see that that what I felt was honesty might have been and may still be a simply a lack of empathy for how his words/actions might impact on other. Lots to think about.... [/QUOTE]
