[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 227545, member: 1550"] The last post jarred a memory. After a painful break up with a boyfriend when I was 15, my mother thought I was crying because I "made a mistake and was pregnant." I was so shocked and angry that I never told her anything again. The truth is, I was actually the only person on earth I know of who was a virgin when I got married. For her to say that to me, I felt it was a betrayal. I'm sure being young and hormonal didn't help, but it made me behave with a chip on my shoulder and a "she doesn't believe me anyway so why be good???" I was STILL good, but I let her think I was doing drugs and having sex and we just fought like crazy because of it. I think about that as I parent my girls. I'm careful about the questions I ask and how I ask them. I never even accused my drug-daughter of having sex, and she didn't until she was 17. [/QUOTE]
