[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve finally (mostly) learned not to argue when our 21 year old son says things like this. Generally if we listen and say things like “that sounds hard” as a PP suggested, then two things happen: 1. DS has vented and calms down a bit 2. DS’s oppositional nature takes over and he argues that whatever he blew up about isn’t really so bad and he’s really just venting and overreacting. If we try to argue against the irrational thoughts and overreactions, then he digs in his heels. [/quote] Yes![/quote]
