Mandy, this does hurt your son. But he can deal with it and heal and WILL become stronger. Both my children have been hurt twice. We acknowledge the hurt and move forward. My kids are as happy now as I have seen them in a long time. At 16 and 18 we could be dealing with insolence and rebellion. Had a little a few weeks ago, but I stayed steady and said my prayers. I have the time to focus on them w/o any one else's crap.
My S encourages me to date. I will be hard pressed to let anyone else into our lives right now. They are so delightful and are listening to me more than ever. No back talk or argument.
