Well, my son and his girlfriend broke up, apparently. I did ask him about this on Sunday because I had a "feeling" and he yelled something at me, so I kept my mouth shut and figured I'd find out more when he was ready to tell me. Well I found out, but it was on a family website. I am very fortunate to have wonderful relatives who handled his situation beautifully. They all gave wonderful advice without talking down to him. I am glad he feels he can talk to them, and actually say what he feels. I could not have given him any of those perspectives as his mother and I hope they keep in touch with him and see how he is doing. Sometimes I can tell he's here because I see a trail of dirty dishes, sometimes I can smell his dirty socks, (lol yuk), Sometimes I hear his voice when he is asking for money. I hope he takes the advice about getting a job.

Stop giving him money......I guarantee he will get a job....
Just a little advice from a past mother of teenagers.
I think its great too that he can talk to the "elders" and find comfort and wisdom in that.
I have stopped, we even give him a gas only card with just enough to get him to school and church, anything more he has to pay for. He stopped eating out and he doesn't go anywhere that requires money.
OMG. I went to the family site and read what everyone said. That is one amazing family. They all just jumped in and told Mike what he needed to hear. They didn't point fingers at him or belittle what he was feeling.
That was an awesome display of support and love. Incredible.
How's he holding up?
