[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 756874, member: 18958"] Dear Beta: I'm happy, always, when you check in.I'm mad at this too. But the thing is, this is a time of risk. Maybe Josh does not want to admit that he's afraid of the Coronavirus, and is being self-protective. Who knows? I keep reading and hearing that those in low end jobs, which tend to be service, exposed to lots of people, are contracting this disease at a far greater rate. Good job! This happened to my own son: I think that new variables surface during late adolescence and young adulthood, that were not so much factors when they were younger. One, they no longer depend upon, and act from the structure, judgement and oversight that we have provided. Absent this, they are unmoored, lost. And until their own judgement kicks in wither through maturity or hard-knocks, they are the effect of poor choices, impulses and addictions. The other thing is that mental illness, if it is latent, can be triggered during late adolescence and early adulthood. The other thing is that they fight to emancipate from us psychologically. This fight can take very maladaptive and self-defeating and hurtful directions, as we know so well. Take care. [/QUOTE]
