[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 754316, member: 18516"] I have sent my son a few private messages on FB over the last several months. Just simple messages telling him his dad and I are thinking about him and hope all is going well for him. He never responds to them. I do know when he views the messages because it shows on FB messenger. It does not bother me that he does not reply, I've grown used to his silence. A couple of weeks ago my husband asked if our son still had his same phone number. The free government phone he got when he was paroled. I told my husband I did not know. I sent my son another FB message asking him if he still had the same phone number as his dad has sent several text messages without a reply and asking if he was doing okay. My son actually replied. His reply was My number is --- --- ----. That was it, just the phone number. This morning I'm getting ready for church and I get my phone. I have a message from my son. It's a link to a Youtube video about marijuana and cbd. His message was "Be honest, did you watch?? So??" That was it, that was his message thus the title of this post. I know exactly what my son was doing. He is trying to engage into a debate/argument with me. He knows my stance on pot. I watched the video and simply replied "interesting". When my son was younger, still living at home, I expressed my displeasure and disappointment about his pot smoking. I told him as long as he smoked pot to the extent he was, that he would have a difficult time finding employment. He would always argue with me about how great pot was, how it opens his mind and helps him relax. I also would take issue with him about it while I was footing the bill for his housing, clothing, food etc..... My son is now 37 and I detached from him years ago. I still do not like that he wastes so much of his life smoking pot but it's his life and I accept that. I just find it amusing in a way that he is still trying to engage me into a very old argument that I gave up on a long time ago. This is a test and only a test, you may now resume your regular life..................o_O [/QUOTE]
