I've mentioned a few hundred times about the drama between That Kid and his ex-girlfriend. Well we got to enjoy another segment again last night. I won't get into all the details but it was real eye-opening....the girl needs some serious help, I'm just sayin' and I think That Kid has finally had enough to see that he can't have a friendship/relationship with her without getting dragged down. He erased her from his friend's list on myspace and facebook, which if you are familiar with teens this signifies how serious this is.
You see in our family integrity is IMPORTANT...so important that we don't take kindly to repeated lies and that is what he was encountering, on a daily basis. It really is sad...this was his first real girlfriend and it has turned into a TERRIBLE experience. I wish I would have enforced the "no dating" but the "courtship" type of relationship. We would have avoided a lot of stress, heartache and headaches this past year.
Soooooo, if you are reading this and have kids about to approach the teen years and are trying to decide between dating vs. courtship, I urge you to completely investigate the courtship ideas and give it some serious prayer. Dating in today's world is VERY scary.....even for innocent teens. We will be looking at courtship for the remaining years of his teens and young adulthood. And if you know of any nice, Christian young women without a lot of emotional baggage in the DFW area who are interested in hanging out with a wonderful young man, let me know!!!
