Listen, I don’t know if I’m the best person to offer parental advice but I do remember being a teenager. Those are some really messed up years when your relationship with your parents changes and your not always sure about the best way to handle it.

I think most boys go through a period where their relationship with their dad get’s a little testy. My dad and I used to fight every night, and one time when I was 16 I spent a week living on the streets rather than come home.

But here’s the thing: We got through that, and I love my father more than life itself now.

My advice would be to stay as involved as possible in your son’s life, be the best father you can be even in tough circumstances.

This too shall pass…
moorephened Reviewed by moorephened on . My own son would rather live on welfare than live with me... I was in such a good mood all weekend, too. But this has been the monday from hell for me. I just got a notice in the mail that my son's mother is adding him to her welfare case, and I have to pay the state for it. In other words, I'm paying for her welfare check every month. Fuck, I have a good job. I have land in the country. Come live with me, boy. But he doesn't want to. :( Rating: 5
