[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 648240, member: 18366"] Trust me on this every single person has secrets they don't want to talk about. Although it is hard to hear others boasting of the accomplishments of their children, understand that does not make you obligated to in turn talk about you child - and the failures. I understand that it feels like a kick in the gut when you hear these "other outcomes" but rest assured for every positive thing someone says about the child, there is something going on in their own personal life they DON'T want to talk about it. Ah, and lest we forget some of those who speak so greatly about their own children may very well be living in denial about what their children are really up to. The point is that everyone has problems and just because yours is problems with your son, doesn't mean you are a failure. It just means you have an issue on your plate. If it helps, just contribute to the conversation (if asked) by saying "he's doing fine" and change the subject to something more interesting or positive for you. [/QUOTE]
