[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 680814, member: 11791"] Part truths. My son wrestles with that thinking too. Yes, you are better than the drug addicts. Yes, maybe you are not as good as [I]some people[/I]. But as soon as you get to the word "everybody"... you're on the wrong track. Because you cannot possibly know "everybody". So how do you compare? You can't. It's a statement of assumption. You [I]assume[/I] everybody is better than you. [I]And they are NOT.[/I] There will be some who are better, some who are worse. And every single one makes choices that take them higher or lower. I don't belong in the group of parents at school. They are on a totally different track, and we have nothing in common, not even our kids. I do belong to a small group of parents on this board. We are all on a different track. It really helped me to find out that I truly was not the ONLY one. What can your son find to do with his life that in some way gives back? What can he accomplish that makes HIM feel like he is contributing? [/QUOTE]
