Hi juju. I think it sounds as if your priority is your son's safety and that he meets the financial terms of your decree. For the second, it doesn't matter if he is spending his money on unicorns - it's his life - as long as he meets his payments to you right? For your son, it sounds as if you don't assume but keep a wise eye open and jump into action at the first bit of concrete evidence.

My situation is a bit different. My husband was open and sharing with me...until he stopped and then ran off to MLC world. Good thing about that is I know what being in a trusting team feels like. Bad thing is that it makes who he is now even more shocking and tough to adjust too! Actually I think being open is very sexy because it is about being confident in who you are.

Not all men are the same. Not all people are the same. And it makes sense that trust is an issue after life gives us a kicking. I guess that is part of our own DB efforts to be a better version of us? The starting point has to be about trusting our own judgement. How do you think you can start building confidence in yours now? I suppose trust has two halves...your ability to trust wisely and what other people do to show you they are trustworthy. Don't rush to date...you'll know when you're ready and you can take it slow.
