[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do I tell my kids when they ask when she doesn't participate in conversations, even if directly addressed, and why she talks about nothing but the End Days? [/quote] How about something like "I don't know why. That's how she is, I guess. Some folks are more into conversation than others."[/quote] But that's deflection. Aren't 11 and 13 year olds old enough to get a watered down version of the truth?[/quote] I don't think that's deflection. You don't know why; you are not a psychiatrist, presumably, and don't know what if anything she's been diagnosed with. It is just how she is. And some people are more like her and others have more mental health, social skills, and preferred topics of conversation. Now if they get into questioning whether her kids are neglected...that's a different story and depends on if you think they are or if someone else is picking up the slack.[/quote]
