Monday morning
Well, my mother came and went and the graduation party is over. I survived it all but just barely. I am actually having a really hard time right now because she just wants to fight about everything that happened while she was here. I have to control my urge to fight back with her to defend myself. I need to just let it drop for now. I feel like I am grieving my son leaving in a week and grieving the fact that I don't have a mother who can put aside her own feelings to comfort me during this time.
Ok, enough of that. I want to live in the moment of all the blessings that I do have right now. I have my wonderful friends who are there for me during this time. Zac graduates on Thursday and I want to celebrate that fact instead of thinking about him leaving. I had a really nice talk with him yesterday about how he is feeling right now and he seems to be handling it well. He has a girlfriend and I wish he didn't because I know how difficult this time is going to be for the both of them. I want him to focus on bootcamp and not thinking about what she is doing while he is away.
Has anyone else out there had to deal with the whole boyfriend/girlfriend issues with your teenagers? I would love to hear how you handle it because I know that I am not very good at it. I have a 17 year old daughter who is also itching to date. I try my best to explain how I feel about dating as a whole but in this society, I feel like I am swimming upstream all the time. I have given her all the books about dating, but she usually just rolls her eyes at me. She is a Christian but I think in her mind, it is so conflicting to the secular world and she is torn.
Have a great day everyone.
God Bless, Michelle |
