[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 742844, member: 18516"] This is key to navigating a conversation with a difficult one. I use very short, canned responses and will repeat them over and over. I have found that offering very little about my life works best for me. This way I don't have to worry about telling my son something that he will later use against me. I also don't have to wonder about his lack of empathy, I already know it's just not there. I remember one time my son was waiting for me by the car and when I came out of the house, my heal got caught in the storm door and down I went. My son did not even come over to me let alone ask me if I was okay. Instead, he yelled at me "mom, hurry up or I'm gonna be late" :rolleyes: Ya, that was a special moment. [/QUOTE]
