Teen Violence

 

Being a mother of a young man, I have lived through those teenage years. There were times when I asked my son“What did you do with that lovable boy I once new” A friend was living it and she kept telling me“Denise you wait, your time will come”. Well it did and I survived and so will you. My mantra that I read,in Don’t Sweat the small Stuff was “They don’t stay evil forever they will come back”. Everyday I repeated this.Then one day he did come back and my relationship with my son is perfect. He’s the most loving son a mothercould ask for. Kind, caring, compassionate and has the most positive outlook on life. So I do know they can come back.
