Asking for Advice
My
youngest son, "Quinn," is 13 and has one of the most tender
hearts I've ever seen. He can't stand
to see anyone be hurt or left out. -- QUINN'S MOM IN OREGON |
Giving Advice Are you being petty? Removing the photographs was petty. Should you move? That would be overreacting to an unpleasant situation -- particularly in light of the fact that you and your son have an excellent support system in your "church family." And, in a sense, because Quinn's father is deceased and you are all he has, he needs that outside support. The young man appears to have shouldered a great deal of responsibility for someone so young. Moving away is not the answer. Keeping some distance from your family would be a better idea. Nutritional counseling for Quinn, along with professional counseling for you to help you deal with your anger, would also be helpful. I suspect there are issues in your relationship with your mother and siblings that need to be examined. Deal with those and your problems will be resolved. |
