Quote From: rdcurt1I don't think there is anything wrong with 2 mature adults dating, no matter what their age is. I do feel differantly if the man in question is just barely an adult. My son turned 18 last July and is involved with a 35 year old woman who has a son almost his age. I have been fighting the issue for months. She has lived her life and made her mistakes, and he is just starting out in life and shouldn't be thinking about taking on her responsibilities. This might be one episode I will pass on, the topic is just to close to home for me.
You may think you know a lot about your son BUT I bet my bottem dollar he has done things you never imagined. Young people have gone through WAY more then we ever have. and trust me mom does NOT know all.
The more you push against him dating her the more he will fight you. He is over 18..he can vote, drive a car go to war. You raised him now it is time to let go or you will loose him.
My fiance soon to be husband and I been dating for over 3 years. He had experienced things I never had when I was that age and guess what we have a beautiful relationship. YES his mom had an issue but she got over it and said okay IT IS YOUR LIFE YOU ARE AN ADULT...and we are now good friends.
My son is 1 year older then him. My family accepts him and I am accepted by his family.
As long as he is loved respected and treated well YOU should be happy..because THAT is hard to find anymore. Be glad he is not stuck with someone who is abusive and fools around on him
Get over it mom and accpet your son as an adult and cut the emotional umbilical cord
