I wrote about them as they relate to addicts once. Granted purple hair is a minor issue as it relates to using but it relates to behavior norms. No matter if we like it or not society looks at this as abberrent behavior and it makes it hard for them to be taken serious. How that relates? We older folks are the people that hire and provide work, that puts them at a disadvantage. But they are living their life so I have to let it go, just as you do.<br /><br />The strangest thing though, Mom hates tattoos. Nothing religious ordered or anything she just does not like them. She told our kids once, you get a tattoo and you're out of the will. With all the things my son has done, he does not have a tattoo, and every single one of his drug buddies are covered. Sometimes they listen to the strangest things.Dad and Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204246139693620329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2460448667975629711.post-8996159112742716672010-06-10T05:12:51.011-07:002010-06-10T05:12:51.011-07:00Oh Kelly.

You're right - the purple hair and piercings are metaphors for individuating and finding her own unique place in the universe. How old is she? Please know that just a month ago, I was certain my daughter would most likely be dead within a few weeks. Things can and do change, due to random variables. Hang in there. Stay hopeful, and let your daughter know that you will always be her mom, no matter what. Thinking of you. PeggyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
