[QUOTE="Vivian, post: 432316, member: 12049"] Thank you, thank you, thank you. His counselor at school is a wonderful man who has made us feel a bit more comfortable by taking it upon himself to check in with our son weekly and talk to him about "stuff." It seems as if our son has responded to him in a way the counselor feels is beneficial because he feels that our son is telling him the truth when he asks him things. I believe that this hit me hard because I felt that we had made it through the "tough" years because our older daughter was fine through her teen years and is now 20 and a junior in college. When my boys turned 17 I thought all was well and we had skated through the tough years because we'd made it through 17 years and nothing had happened because it "would have" by now. I thought too soon. I will check in on this site to read other parents stories and concerns because I've found it very very difficult to fine support groups or blogs that involve issues with older teens. But I guess when a parent is going through this age doesn't matter. We all hurt the same when it comes to our children. [/QUOTE]
