[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 696746, member: 17720"] I tell them that he is "traveling, seeing the world, living from day to day, finding himself," etc. It was cool when Jack did it in "Titanic", right? They don't have to know the whole homeless, alcoholic, and panhandling side of it. I think people are never as "together" as we see them in our minds anyway. We have friends who brag about EVERYTHING. Once they were bragging about their tenant. He pays his rent on time EVERY MONTH... he is SO QUIET...he keeps the place SPOTLESS, etc. I don't know why they brag this way, but it gets tiresome. One day Hubs couldn't take it and kind of snapped and said, "Yeah, but why does he keep kitten bones under the kitchen sink and drive a white panel van?":highly_amused: Crickets. I still say that to myself when "normal" people are bragging up on their kids. I really do hope people with more "normal" lives don't have to try to accommodate the things we have to deal with...but I try to remember that their lives are not ideal either, even though it may seem that way when they talk about it.
