I need to be treated as if I'm going to be okay.  Don't expect me to me okay right here and right now but have the insight to see what I'm asking for...It may look like punishment but it is what I really want, what I really need. I may or may not know how to ask in the moment.  Respond to me based on what I can be not what you currently see.

Failure is not an option but a reality.  What do I do, how to do I act when things don't go according to plan?  Well if your plans include a failure response strategy then you already have a plan for things not going according to plan.

The one left holding the bag bears the all the blame... It's an old British phrase but it applies in this case to the parent/child responsibility.  What I put in your bag is my job--good or bad.  What you do with the content is up to you.  In the end you are the one left holding the bag.

I can't always control my reaction to a thing or a substance.  I can control is access.  Controlling the distance controls the damage. If it's really bad for our kids or for us...just say no.
