[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 693100, member: 13882"] My son was a big weed smoker and ranter as a high schooler. At the time, my husband was working in a nearby state, and would only come home on weekends. If my son ranted, roiled on about, "police in this country" "religion in this country" "stupid people in this country" you get the idea, I'd try to hand it off to him with the old adage, "You'll figure it out, you're a smart kid", he'd trail me around the house, even into the bathroom. I just couldn't escape this kid. If I'd tell him I needed to be alone, he'd rant on about how stupid I was, and how useless, blah, blah, blah, then he'd hit a hole in his bedroom door or wall. I don't know how I kept my sanity, and would never have him live under our roof again, ever. If I engaged him calmly and let him let off steam, it would be me sitting there for hours, having him talk about a dream he had in minute detail, or listen to his delusional ideas. There was no middle ground with him when he was in that state of mind. [/QUOTE]
