Doing hard time on the MLC chain gang.

[MHL]

I wish, think it was someone else that recomended the book but I had weighed in on that discussion.

After picking the splinters out of my forehead from yesterday I can say this about my R with my D13. It is closer than it has ever been and we have a bond that is stronger than ever.

Because, of what she knows of her mother's behavior I was able to talk to her quite frankly about boys and sex and what boys really want, reputations among friends, gossip the whole thing.

My W had the "sex talk" with her at 9 or 10 years old. It was just the basics, you know the mechanics of it all. About the age of my D13 is when the father should have a talk his daughter about boys, b/c he is in a position to explain things through the eyes of a boy.

I had this talk with my D13 in December, I can tell you that once I had this talk with my D13 the trust between us has grown and she now talks more openly about her R with her "boyfriend". Completely innocent at this point.
