Once upon a time, I went skiing with my son, Matthew because he thinks we don't care about him anymore. He has been kind of narcissistic which is kind of like describing your average young male. I was always frustrated with him not calling home, forgeting birthdays, not ever saying thank you, never calling his sisters at college, being so defensive about any criticism, not appreciating his step-mother who raised him as if he were his own, the repetitive lying, even confronted with irrefutable proof,his dishonesty with girlfriends, stuff like that. I would feel ashamed that I didn't always like my own son.
So, I fly to Denver for 4 days of skiing with Matthew hoping for some bonding. It was mostly a good experience. Mainly I learned a lot about my son that I should have know but had to witness first hand. He is an incredibly independent young man. He lives with 5 other guys whom he proudly introduced me to. They are his age and graduating soon. (Matthew had to work a couple years to establis Colorado residency)
I have to quit now I now because I have 2 minutes left on my library computer ttime I'll sign on again and finish
