[QUOTE="Lil, post: 708438, member: 17309"] I think my response is largely because of intense confusion as to WHY he is the way he is. I know, genetics, his biodad was a Difficult Child, but I say, over and over and over, "What about MY genes?" I was a GOOD kid. Almost stereotypical good, like Leave it to Beaver good. The WORST thing I ever did was drink and drive - on back roads in the country with pretty much no other drivers around for miles. I didn't smoke pot, I didn't take pills. Hell, I was a virgin until Law School when I was just tired of waiting! I didn't talk back to my parents. I didn't disobey my parents. I only broke curfew twice - once when I was home on a college visit! I certainly didn't steal from or openly defy my parents. In fact, had my parents been alive when I met my first husband, he would never have been my husband and I would never have even had my kid, because my parents would not have approved of him and I would not have married anyone my parents didn't approve of had they been able to voice that disapproval. It just ain't fair darnit. :p [/QUOTE]
