[QUOTE="Hopeful30, post: 616206, member: 17520"] (Trying to get the hang of this site, probably not a good idea to ask my son....lol) As I read this article I can relate to what it says and every now and then I think, but what about when he...this or that. He doesn't seem to function well. Cannot hold a job and believes because he worked in a kitchen, he is a master chef. He has briefly bartended and can make or create any fabulous drink with 'flair'. He worked for a few months in construction and believes he can build a house. He is upset I had someone else replace my bathroom tile. Gets mad at me, thinks I don't believe in him. The other night, he asked for a mallet to break up penne pasta because he wanted chili mac pasta and I forgot to buy it. His chili was ruined because I did not have the correct hot sauce, cholulu instead of tabasco. He kept saying his life sucked. How do I deal with things like this. How, when he is in this phrase,do I stop him from banging on the counter top to break the pasta? I understand the detachment, I don't yet know how to deal with his moods....so I let him be and try to ignore. [/QUOTE]
