Relationships work out where there is love, love.

Whether or not your kids speak their heart is relative to the
relationship. Don't let it bother you too much. Prize their independence without being permissive. And don't be afraid to be the parent. If they don't want to be aware, then be aware for them. That's your job. It is up to them to either listen or not, do or not. Always will be. Your worry may not decrease because of this, but remember that too much worry over things you cannot ultimately control will cloud your reasoning with regard to the things that you can...

As a mother of a 24 year old daughter, sometimes daughters don’t speak their heart out to their mothers. In my case during those teenage years I was not privy to her thoughts, her sorrows, or her challenges. She only just now shares them with me and I wish I could have provided a shoulder for her to lean on during those tumultuous years.

It is difficult one to say to a son. I told my boys that five minutes of fun was not worth 18 years of commitment! sam
