Thanks for all the responses, just getting that out made me feel alot better. It's just so hard to set back and watch them do things that you preach so hard against them not doing it. I feel that if we keep pushing them apart, it will only push them more closer together. All parents wish their kids weren't having sex period, but with this girl although I don't condone it at all, she is of legal age in our state and there's nothing either parent can do about it. He is an adult and I've been setting back in the past year letting him try to become more responsible and learn from his own mistakes, but obviously it's not working. I'll still harp on him, but really I know there's nothing more I can do. He's getting ready to start a new job next week which will cause him to be working 2nd & 3rd shifts, she'll be in school during the day so maybe that will keep them apart as much as possible.....

I only emailed her parent to let her know, that he was raised differently than she portrayed him to be, that he's not the monster she thinks he is just because he's had sex........I also wanted her to know that I did care about her feelings and I would try to work with her on discouraging them to be apart....I was very nice to her although, it was hard. I guess it doesn't matter how old your child becomes, their still a kid in your eyes and it's hard to just let go and watch them make their mistakes. I do know that making mistakes and learning from them will make you a better person, but I hate to see him mess up his life some young girls life too.
