[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 686491, member: 20267"] I believe there is something positive to take from the times your kids exaggerate and/or flat out lie about their childhoods. The fact that they are doing it shows that they do know that their actions are wrong, or else they wouldn't feel the need to justify it in such ways. And KNOWING that what they do is wrong must occur before they desire to change it. I have personally seen a lot of people do this. People who's childhood's may as well be Leave It To Beaver when compared to my own. Always making excuses. And, when there are none to be made, make some up. The longer they repeat these... delusions, the more they delude themselves. Until they almost believe that the :censored2: they know they made up are true, or fair. I am glad that you don't let it hurt you as much. It is just another kind of mental gymnastics designed to escape responsibility, and therefor facilitate repeating the behaviors. Addiction is a hell of a thing. Just about EVERY conscious and subconscious action or remark serves to protect their ability to use. The mind is addicted, and it will do some incredible stuff in order to get more. Convinces you of things you know to be false, and develop ways in which to skirt responsibility. Addiction is a mental issue. Withdrawal is NOTHING compared to the mental aspect of it. It is very unreasonable, and the person who is addicted becomes unreasonable. In a viscous, insane circle. Drugs make you do and say bad things, doing and saying bad things make you feel like :censored2:. To avoid feeling like :censored2:, you take your drugs. Which makes you do and say bad things. Etc. etc. Really messed up part is that, at least in that moment, it is normal. After a while, it stops being senseless and becomes the ONLY sense. [/QUOTE]
