[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 648423, member: 18516"] My son also thinks along these lines. He has gone into rants about our culture and consumerism yet he fills his life with "stuff" that he more than likely has stolen. I used to have these kinds of thoughts, wondering, when is he going to start being responsible and get a job. I no longer have those thoughts. I do have hope that my son will turn his life around but what that looks like is that he will stop stealing and scamming people, that he will stop abusing drugs and alcohol. If that were to happen I think other positive changes might follow. I would also like to be able to have a conversation with my son, one where we could really talk. I have tried but have had to abandon those efforts as every time I would try he would go into a rant about how my beliefs are stupid, he would say the most ugly things to me. I do not have a problem that my son does not share my beliefs what I do have a problem with it there is no respect for my choice. I have told him that he is free to believe what he wants and that I will respect his choice, all I ask is for the same respect. He know how important my faith is to me and I think that's why he attacks it because he knows how much it hurts me. I hope that in the midst of the life he is living that he does have some happiness and joy. [/QUOTE]
