Oh man, this makes me so nervous and a mom of a daughter. What a tough decision but you guys did such an amazing job and really managed it well. Spicy was spicy, jeez hope she got help because she was trouble. I feel for her but also for your son. I’m glad all ended well for your son.

Thank you, appreciate your kind words. Yes, it’s a fine line between guiding our kids and giving them some freedom to make mistakes. But there does come a line and we need to be aware of the Spicy’s in our life.

I've never had children, but I had a friend with a daughter who went through something similar in high school. It's so good that you are raising awareness that this can happen so early. Also, just a good read.

Thank you and yes sadly Spicy isn’t a one off. I see it happening all the time. We need to learn more about trauma, abandonment, coercive control, our relationship patterns.
