I just don't know how to let him go at barely 17 I guess, but I have no choice. I can't begg him to stay and let him call all the shots, break all the rules....I can't just sit back and watch that either. This is the worst thing I have been through and I have been through ALOT. |
Girl I know where you are coming from...my son who just turned 15 in October is coming into his own...he has always had learning disabilities which made me "coddle" him for lack of a better word. He is talking back to me and basically growing up. Testing out the waters so to say...I know this is normal just as when he was learning to walk and talk and do all the other firsts..this is his first...his first time making decisions without mom standing over him..going out at night, meeting friends and making decisions with them standing over him. I trust he has learned from me but I also know he will probably experiment with things as we all did at one point or another. Today he has the flu and needs mommy to take care of him...haha...so take the lighter moments when they come and the heavy moments...well lay them out for us..cry on our shoulders...vent and cry...your allowed to do that!!! I just want to reach through the screen and hug ya!!
