this morning #2273.

this morning, it was rather chilling how willing he’d become as a teen. eager to please in a way that i can see getting him in trouble one day. lining himself up to be taken advantage of by others. peer pressure & such. when he came into the kitchen for breakfast, i knew it was now or never. time for some real talk. it’s sort of my job now to set him straight in a way that doesn’t destroy him. he’s always been a bit of a sensitive soul. good kid but far too trusting. gets it from our dad. not me though. i carved my own path & if i can help him bridge the gap between the attitudes of myself & our dad, he’ll be alright. all he has to do is not be a pushover but also not be a dick. be kind but be wise. as long as he heeds my advice, he’ll make it through life just fine.
