Any friction?

It took years to get him in a good place to be able to go to college and now this. I feel like he must hate me for doing this. I thought we were past the hard part.

I’m so sorry, pp. Hugs to you.

Be supportive, be cool, have a sense of humor, don't nag. Even when you disagree, speak to them like they're intelligent adults, not recalcitrant toddlers. Do these things and magically the "friction" goes away.

Be cool???!!?! Are you 80?

There was. Made the mistake of tangling with Amtrak on the forth Sunday in November (note to self), UCSB students will break from talking drugs to drag the family, and they didn't spend much time housebound.
