Just a question....was that "share his sleeping BAD with me" a typo or was it a freudian slip???lol

Really, I remember doing something like that when I was young & mind you, that was 36 years ago. It isn't ok now anymore than being ok then.....speaking as a mother myself. The problem is that things can "just" happen that are out of your control no matter how much you think someone is taking care of you. This can be related to drugs or any other harmful situation in life.

We didn't have cell phones in my day, so we were expected to call from any phone that was available (& there had to be one available) if we ever got into a situation that wasn't acceptable & absolutely no excuses were accepted. I didn't call either. My parents thought I was at a safe high school party with my friend whos father was a minister, but in reality, several of us were out crusing in one of the guys car. The breaks went out in the car.....running through several red lights & coming close to ending up in a crash.....at that point, I saw my life flashing in front of my face along with the picture of the police going to my parents home telling them what might have happened if we really had crashed. My parents had no idea of any of this & of course, their little girl would never get involved in any situation like that. I am glad they never did find out...I would have been grounded for life if they had. But over time, I started feeling really sick inside by keeping what had happened inside. I never did tell them, but finally I had to talk to someone about it before being able to let go of the sick feeling. I knew it was wrong even if I didn't say anything & it taught me to think about the situation I was in before letting it get out of control. Maturity isn't necessarily how you handle getting caught, but how you handle keeping a similar situation from hurting you in your future life. Doing something wrong that could hurt you isn't a great way to get attention. There are other much more positive ways to get attention.

I know this comes from one of the older members of the forum, &
