RE: A being from another dimension has moved into my house.

in #ulog7 years ago

Welcome to my world, my friend. My son turned 16 this year and is about to finish grade 11. It has been roller coaster ride ever since he turned 13 for sure. I have been down the door closed road and ventured on the inappropriate content highway with him. It isn't always easy to keep those connections close but I certainly try. As he gets older, his friends become more important than family (At least it feels like that some days) I am very lucky that my kid is a talker and we have been able to keep communication lines open. You know that our kids are just a little bit different when they are out and about with their besties. We have to trust that we have given them the tools to make good choices and that they will continue to chat with us. Just last night, he went to his first "beach bash" (an end of year high school party). It is a party where there will be lots of opportunities to make bad choices. He was home on time and had some pretty amazing stories to share and that to me was a huge win, he was willing to sit and talk all about it. It has been a fun ride and your adventure is just beginning. Hold on to the railing at all times sir!!!

That is fantastic that the beach bash was not a disaster! I agree 100%. All we can do is give them a strong base and hope they remember the lessons we taught them when they are facing potential bad choices.
