My son Fabian is at a point where he needs to be monitored. A trust between me an him needs to be stronger. And he needs to be aware of that. And he needs to respect that. It’s not going to be easy. It’s not going to take effect right away. It’s going to take effort from both sides.
What if he is not interested? Then we’d have to follow up with penalties. We’d have to follow up with close monitoring. We’d have to “not trust” him.
Alternatives are not easy for either side. They’re painful. But they are needed.
I am hoping that it doesn’t come to this. But it does not look very promising.
Yesterday, after I told Fabian not to take the body of Christ, since he still needs to go forhis first communion, he still went ahead and did it. I asked him several times, he still went ahead and did it. I got upset. Mommy got upset and it all lead to this. We’ll see where this goes.
