[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 724939, member: 19290"] I get that. We have all felt that too. And it's a difficult thing to admit. They are doing things that would bring shame to any reasonable person. But I am the parent of a troubled adult child. I can't speak for your son, but what is good for DCs is incredibly counterintuitive, by any reasonable persons measure. It's like a gladiator fight. Ugly and with spectators. At the end of the day, our kids need real strength though, so we have to face the reality and fight in that arena. I have learned that I have to parent to my son's actions, not to his words. The bile that comes out is about as meangful as his promises and his claims that he is fine. [/QUOTE]
