It’s this black and white, all or none attitude that makes you just the worst kind of person. Nobody is saying “all people do drugs.” We’re saying lots of ppl to drugs.
The Mary Tyler Moore character in the film had already emotionally abandoned the surviving younger son (played by Timothy Hutton, in an Oscar-winning performance) but didn’t leave the family until the end of the film. My point is that Declanium should also leave her family (again, assuming that she is sincere here).
I have taken possession of Declanium’s sons; they will join my band of orphaned pickpockets. She will receive a small cut of their earnings to support her new childrens’ pancake breakfasts.
She isn’t. I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but after this afternoon’s performance, you’re either a troll or an extremely sick human (or both). Leave your children and your husband. They’ll be better off. No doubt they already know that.
I think that’s what the infinite monkeys with infinite typewriters came up with instead of the works of Shakespeare.
I’ve never even interacted with him or her before.
(gives Id, I Love Me, Cochrane, and Green Bean the MOM LOOK.) You four go to your rooms right now and think about what you did. If you smoke pot while you’re in there don’t go putting any ashes in my undies!
I dunno…it just felt like after a certain period of time that a lot of the arguments/posits/ignorings were like a vicious cycle that I honestly won’t bother ragging on any more.
If the OP has any thoughts on this, please, share - I’ll gladly absorb anything she can proffer.
Well I stole prescription drugs from both my parents and they still ostensibly love and support me. Ok well I’m not sure about Dad, but I know my Mommy loves me.
Sounds like the OP really needs to get laid by her husband to get a lock on that anxiety.
A better analogy: you just saw your star athlete child tumble to the ground in a football game. You haven’t even seen whether they get back up under their own power and continue playing, much less talked to the doctor or the trainer, but you have decided on no evidence whatsoever that this stumble means their athletic career is over.
Some people develop lifelong drug problems, but most do not (even as some people have debilitating injuries when they fall, but most do not). You have no idea whatsoever whether your sons are just going through a phase or are going to be drug abusers. Repeat after me: YOU HAVE NO IDEA. You won’t be able know probably for years, but for whatever reason, some part of you needs to have an answer now, and you have leaped to the worst possible outcome, rather than the most likely outcome. Why you feel the need to do that is something you should explore with your therapist.
Yes, you do know people who have used weed. We all do. You just don’t know that they did, and since I doubt you are shy about expressing your opinions, why would you expect them to tell you? Most pot-users go on to lead successful and productive lives; pot isn’t a huge deal for them, it’s not a consuming feature of their lives, it may not even be a feature in their lives at all anymore, and it’s not something they need to make public, most assuredly not to somebody who is going to go nuclear and ostracize them.
For the record: I have never even tried marijuana, and have never felt the urge to do so. However, I know people whom I know have, and I likely know others who haven’t told me so. Most of the people I know, including most of the people I know who have used, are successful citizens with productive lives. THAT is reality; whatever is going on in your head isn’t based on anything in this version of space-time.
