[quote=Anonymous]Maybe tell your teen that you're going on a date, and let them know your honest dilemma--that you want to be honest and transparent, but don't want to cause them pain. Tell them that you won't share details unless they ask and that you won't ask them to meet anyone unless it's been at least 6 months (unless they want to meet someone sooner). Give them some control over the flow of information. Most importantly, assure them, again and again, with words and actions, that they are your main priority, that you're on their team, that no one else will come first, etc. They may shrug you off, but they still need to hear it.[/quote]
