Letters for my Children to read

This blog is for my children to read in order to understand how I feel, even if I don't have a chance to share it with them because of the divorce and the fact that we do not live in the same house. When they are older I plan on sharing the fact that this blog is for them. I do not plan on using any details that would identify them.

My 13 year old son is chatting on-line with a 13 year old girl who has twins


"but she acts just like 13 year old..."

Which is how she should be acting, regardless of becoming a parent at such a young age.

"I just want to help her...and be her friend..."

But, you must remember, you are only 13 years old too, and being a "friend" to a teenage parent is a good idea, but has the potential to be misunderstood, by her boyfriend, her parents and even your new friend.

"He kinda forced her to have the baby..."

She made some decisions that helped cause this situation to happen. The first decision she made was to not be where she told her parents she would be. Then she made the next critical decision, to decide to be alone with this person. Finally, she made another important decision to become intimate with someone else at such a young age...

I can understand how she could have been overwhelmed by these small decisions that seem inconsequential at first, but end up having pretty deep consequences....

that is why you want to be a little older before you are faced with such tough decisions....about friendships, love, dating and sex...
