Orchid, good comments. If I had a son doing this, I'd be mortified.

And I know we all change. I'm not the same person now that I was at 20, 30, and beyond. And I'll be different at 50 and 55, and 60 than I am now.... We all change throughout life.

I guess what finally got to me was his last comment. He said something to the effect of, "everybody is always looking for happiness but we all have so many rules that sometimes we won't let it happen. Why can't we just be happy for today, since we might not have tomorrow anyway." And I can't get that out of my mind.

Thanks again gals.
