Hi - 1st post! My son is 15, an only child and the apple of my eye and I do nothing but worry about him. I'm a single mum but my sister lives with us and is a great help, especially with the 'good cop, bad cop' routine
He's just got a girlfriend and I worry about the usual stuff - what are they up to, he could do better, etc. I fret so much it affects my health and sometimes my relationship with my son. No matter how rational I try to be I always go back to panicking about it all.
I also worry about drugs and drinking - toddlerdom was so much easier! I understand this age can be very stressful for all concerned but is anyone else freaking out like I am? He's a nice lad and don't want him spoiling that.
Thanks. Floss
