[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 621662"] Suz, so sorry to hear he is having troubles. As far as not telling his dad - I don't think I could honor that either. When I have been placed in a situation like that - I try to encourage the young person to tell their parent directly and offer to be with them in support when they do so and the outcome is usually pretty good. I've had similar situations not with my own kids, but with their friends. My response is usually - I can't promise not to tell, but I CAN let you be the one to tell him. It's a nice way to avoid breaking their trust. [/QUOTE]
