[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 766275, member: 18958"] My son would say a version of this, but he's adopted. He'd say, as if I was responsible for his existence, "Why did you even adopt me?" As if my adopting him was his origin story and the source of his pain. Who cares what they say? Let's get a tougher skin, okay? They only say this because it works. Once I began to be unaffected by what my son said, he cut it out for the most part. My attitude began to be, you make your bed, you lie in it. I don't. When you want another kind of bed to sleep in, make a different bed. (To a point. My son is mentally ill.) Sounds like bliss. Good, good move. [/QUOTE]
