i know how he feels
Quote From: vibarroI'm a single mom with three teens!!! I struggle to make ends meet and try to provide the best I can for them. I'm worried about my 15 year old son. He has a girlfriend whom he sees all day in school, from 7:30-3:00 p.m. When he comes home he wants to continually call her or send messages to her on my cell phone running up high bills on both. If I don't let him there's true chaos: he starts crying, screaming, and throwing such tantrums that make me think- Would it be better to let him have his way just for the sake of peace? What really concerns me, other than the high bills is this terrible dependency he has. I mean, if he sees her every day for so much time, what is the need to keep in touch with her? I mean, it seems he has no other life than seeing her or talking to her, and this worries me since I too was once obsessed in this way and I know how much it hurts. I struggle between thoughts of :"Is this normal, am I getting carried away by my prior experience, or am I right about worryig about such obsessive behavior? Please somebody answer me. I really don't know what to do? i am 15 and i have had my boyfriend for about a year and i see him all day at school and want to come right home and talk to him but i can't his parents say no and it kills me. i get to talk to him for at most an hour a day and can see him once a week (counting weekends) sometimes not even that. i am very attached to him and i think it is because he listens to me and he understands me and i know that he really cares and he doesn't have to and that is what makes it so special. but as far as the text message thing my mom would kill me so we stick with the free things when we can talk (aim and things like that). i wish i could talk to him more and to me i don't see anything wrong with it other than getting hurt but to me that is a risk i am willing to take. its part of being a teen.
