Bio
I am a proud mother of two biological children and a chosen stepson. As my children have grown, I, as a mother, have learned a great deal about my children and myself.
When I was a young lady, I didn't feel comfortable asking my mother about things. She'd get mad or would lecture me for hours (it seemed). I was lucky to have friends to guide me and answer my questions. I know not every kid is lucky enough to have friends or family they feel open enough to ask.
That's the first reason I'm starting this blog. The second reason is to provide the right guidance to young people. Some of the same stupid myths about sex and relationships that I grew up with in the Stone Age are still being passed around as fact today.
To parents who may read my blog, I'm not going to provide moral guidance. I will not tell a gay teen to find God. I will not tell a pregnant girl which path to choose. I believe morality is an in-home issue. Besides, my values may not match your family values. Please try not to hit me too hard over issues of morality.
To teens seeking advice, I lose the term teen pretty loosely. I have to have some title, after all. I'm happy to offer my advice to the young and the young at heart. I will do my very best to answer any question you have. However, there may be times when I send you to another site or agency for specific, special topics. It's not that I don't want to deal. You wouldn't take your car to a coffin maker for a tune up!!
