I never thought the day would come. I knew the teen years would be difficult. He was such a good kid all along. I read the right books, went to the right classes, did the right things. Spanking wasn't part of my discipline system; natural and firm consequences were. Once when he got mischievous at an after school program and flooded the toilets in the place, I had him work with the custodian for two weeks cleaning everyday instead of playing with the other kids. We were very close. We wrote poetry together and performed it at church for Mother's Day. At the same time, he was his own boy - very interested and talented in sports.
So, the way things are right now is such a shock to me.
