The Changes I’m Making
I’m now across his kids’ messenger, watching everything he says to both boys and girls. I’ve confronted him about some things that were not okay and made him apologize to the kids involved and their parents. I’m more involved with his school, communicating with teachers about what goes on in the schoolyard, and I’ve decided he will not have access to social media until an appropriate age.
I listen in on conversations when his friends are over. I watch him now more closely than ever as he enters this next phase of life. Not because I don’t trust him, but because I want to grab any opportunity to address things as they happen and open up the lines of communication so he feels heard and seen.
