[QUOTE="tamarann, post: 750612, member: 24282"] Thank you so much to everyone who has commented. It has already helped me immensely to not feel so alone, and to hear so many different views and thoughts. I think I was sensitive to [USER=21066]@Crayola13[/USER] comments because these are things I have said to both my sons, trying to get them to see logic, but they just don't. I am trying to be compassionate and helpful to my son and to myself; being angry and sarcastic doesn't (usually) help me. HOWEVER, having said that, my kid does face some real challenges as he embarks on this "lifestyle". And I AM angry. The option to use food banks or soup kitchens kind of pisses me off - why should working taxpayers provide those services to people who are perfectly capable of working but choose not to? They are meant for people who cannot work, or who are struggling by TRYING. Do I want to see him starve to death? Of course not. But how else will he learn anything? If he's not hungry, why would he change? [USER=21066]@Crayola13[/USER], you didn't say anything untrue! (My mom heart was just vulnerable <3) [/QUOTE]
