So I haven't posted in a really long time. I haven't done jack-sheeyit to my website in a long time, and SotD has yet to execute its inaugural run. Even so, I assure you my dedication to the distraction of countless professionals will endure this dry spell. I guess I've just been overwhelmed with the depths of my inadequacies over the past month ( Read more... )

Good for Justin. I was wondering about you yesterday, about how your holidays played out.

I'm glad he stuck up for you. That's really all you need. And who didn't see them pushing the envelope like that? Obviously she digs the testing of the boundaries. Well, good for Justin. I'm happy about that.

What kind of son doesn't care if he doesn't speak to his parents again? Now, I'll be the first to admit the parents are one cookie short of a batch, and sometimes they really act like two year olds. But I don't care how horrible they treat him or you; not talking to your parents ever again is a very serious thing. Do you really want it to be over this? I understand the principle of the straw that breaks the camels back, but is one stupid holiday enough of a backbreaker?

I say that he's just afraid to talk to them. Nothing good will come of him being stubborn too, of him not talking to them until they apologize. This situation will only get worse; it can't possibly get better without some sort of catharsis. I warn you, don't let him do this. It will come back to you both. I don't know how or when, but it will.

I sound like Miss Cleo. Gimme ten bucks, babe.

Well, my fellow GOA, what is the proper action at this point? I am at a loss. I can't forsee talking to them going well at this point, perhaps at least if he doesn't talk to them for a month (he's almost there) then they will at least act more reasonable in conversing. But I don't even know how to deal with the irrationality that dominates their logic. Oddly enough, I look to my "counselor" training through my current job...trying to label their psychosis and develop the clinically correct response... Somehow I feel like (although it is not really my place) if I talk to them, on the phone and with a calm demeanor then it will be the virtual "extended hand for peace." But is this something that Justin should be doing? And is he brave/sure enough of himself to do it? I want to be the "bigger man" in this situation, despite their blatant disrespect towards me. But will it be met with more disrespect? And will Justin disapprove of my forgiveness? Gah, what to do, what to do.

One day, I will have my pride back. burntham77 January 21 2003, 07:26:06 UTC

Many a time, a child has stopped talking to a parent, for various reasons. It happens. I can't think of the last time Jim talked to his mother. Why would he assume his kids would not do the same to him? Plus, like his mother, I am sure neither of them are even aware they have done anything wrong. Not that it is entirely their fault, but hey, whatever ( ... )
