I am a mother of 2 boys 23 and 18. Survived all the stuff before that and am now facing new problems. I am very open with my boys and they come to me with many of their problems. I am as honest and open as the problem calls for, but try not to go too far because they have to learn some lessons on their own no matter how hard it is on us. I have been with my hubby for over 30 years and we still love each other deeply.
