[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 722151, member: 18958"] to me we have a right and responsibility to declare our own truth with our children. which has nothing to do necessarily with their truth, any objective criteria or what professionals assert. my truth with my son: you need to work. you are responsible to manage your money. i do not want to hear about reptiles. if you use your marijuana around me, i do not want you near me. you are responsible for your emotions and to get help if you need it, to manage them. clearly, these are not objectively determined truths. in fact they may be prejudices. but this as a parent is what i feel is in my interests and my son's. i do not know if this helps my son, but it gives me a measure of peace. this is ground on which i can firmly stand and defend. mostly. sunday i had a meltdown on the basis of a text referencing serpents. i was wrong. i apologized. but the thing is. if we speak on the basis of where we stand, we can change. We can renegotiate. Because it is our own voice from our core, which can evolve. [/QUOTE]
