Another One Bites The Dust

Heidi Klum and Seal? Yet again, I was fooled into thinking that THIS couple was strong and everlasting. WRONG again. I don't know why I trust so many marriages and scenarios in my head. They had it all, didn't they? Maybe it was the way I was brought up. During all of my growing up years, I only had one relative divorce and knew of maybe one little girl in my elementary school. It could also be that I was aware that Heidi and Seal renewed their vows every year in a special ceremony. Oh and their several kids. Feel badly for them. There must have been some heavy trust issues going on.
Speaking of trust, the other night I was enjoying my sister and her boyfriend(who is a really good cook)we were watching him cook and laughing and talking, having some wine when my son came in with two friends and told me "mom you have to meet Josiah's Dad before he can stay over." Me, "oh really, ok." Mr. Dad came with Mrs.Mom and there we all were in a semi-circle in my kitchen. I have met their son several times and have always enjoyed him. These parents were very nice, but I could just feel the sternness and controlling nature. They were giving me their business card, Mr.Dad wrote down their address, more phone numbers. I'm not sure what they thought their seventeen year old son was capable of doing, but after about 10 minutes, I said don't worry no one will be leaving this apartment. My nurse is here to help me monitor as well. I just felt sorry for J. He was soooo embarrassed and I could understand. I thought back to when I was 17 and if my parents didn't trust me, it would have been so hard to deal with. I asked J. after the parents left, just what was going on. Had his parents been in trouble when they were younger? The answer was yes and J. himself had encountered a bit of trouble too. So, there was a reason for them not trusting him, but I could have learned all of that in a private conversation with one of his parents. I just felt so bad for young man J. And I hope his parents will just give him a little more slack and some positive reinforcement. TRUST is the word for the day.
