Feel Like A Friend, Not A Girlfriend.

Honestly, if you don't care that it's a slippery slope, then I must ask why are you here? This statement is an indication that you don't want to actually do anything for yourself in order to heal and you are still looking for a savior.

Solara. Right now, I have something keeping me alive. Yes, it's bad to cling on to a person that much and I shouldn't, I know I shouldn't. But we haven't gotten to the point in my therpy yet, where we work on ways I can cope by myself. And in all honesty, it's none of your business. I will work on these coping mechanisms and such, when I am ready and when I want to, and also when my therapist thinks I should do. Thank you for taking your time to post, but I have a safety net, and I know I shouldn't, but right now he is the ONLY person in my support network. And yes, if we brake up anytime soon, I'll be a mess and probably breakdown, but that's how it is. I'm not looking to change myself or work on this part of myself right now. I need to have this part to work on the more important sectors of my recovery. And when my therapist and I both think it's the time, we'll work on my coping mechanisms. Still, thank you for taking the time to post. I appreciate your kindness, but this is something for me to decide when and how to do.

There's a difference between knowing & approving, as well as a difference between assisting in areas you feel strongly about & encouraging things you don't approve of.

To be truthful, I can't imagine a single parent happily approving of their 17 year old son having sex, however, I do know his parents accept it. They obviously don't approve and aren't encouraging it, but they know we're safe and we're both responsible (neither of us drink, smoke, I mean, neither of us even have a social life tbh). So, they're okay with it and accept it, I just highly doubt they encourage it.
