freakin' out some (maybe more than some)

[Tangled Web]

I can relate to this very well. It was easier to do the opposite of what was done to me in raising my son most of the time but when he got older and chose his own path..........I was like a fish out of water and even now to this day I still feel that way. He will ask me things and I find my mouth open and nothing comes out. I don't know what to tell him. I do hear you and I try to tell him what I would of wanted to be told.....it is just hard to have that conviction behind your words and his responses are to my answers are getting more challenging because I am always quick to answer why people can be so mean and cruel and if I feel he is being taken advantaged of expressing my opinion about that...........and he looks at me and says mom.......have you ever trusted anyone in this world? That makes me sad.
