[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 689009, member: 18958"] In my case, my son can accept I do not approve of his faults. He can accept that I require him to change. It is that he expects infinite do overs. To say, [I]I tried[/I] or [I]I did not mean it[/I], or [I]it was a mistake [/I]is enough. For him, everything is provisional. Everything can be wiped away, like those boards the kids have where the film can be picked up, and the marks are gone. And if the magic erase board does not work--it's our fault, for asking too much. Honesty. Cleaning. Sobriety. Working. Too much to ask. Too much to give. Nobody is supposed to respond to him like it's for real. [/QUOTE]
