One family's journey through foster care. The stories are true, but all the names are changed.
About Me

- Daughter, sister, wife, mother, foster-parent blog writer, philosophy professor ... I am and have been many things. These days my identities as a teacher of bioethics and the daughter of a woman with Parkinson's and dementia lead me to agree with Peter Singer, "It's different when it's your mother."

A tough one. I think you have identified the rub - if you thow him out of the house over this, then everyone loses, right?
ReplyDeleteCould you talk to Evan about your concerns in a non-judgemental way? Say, perhaps, I am worried that you might be at risk for sex addiction, can we discuss this?
And of course, safety is the most important thing....condoms, condoms, condoms! But of course there are other kinds of safety as well, and harder to be protected ....
Best of luck and a vote of confidence from out here...
My youngest is living with a guy and we do not approve. It does not bother me as much as hubby. I can take it or leave it but when there is another parent involved it is different. Her lifestyle is causing us to argue more because he is so against it and I think he is over reacting.
ReplyDeleteMy only rule has been no sex in the house. It makes me uncomfortable but other than that, what she does at 23 is her business. He just is not relenting on this....I would probably be like you with evan...You are doing fine. MY eldest has told me she is slightly interested in other women and I said, it is your life. YOu are 24. Just be careful.
