  • I’ve been in similar situations with my children. Parents can’t be experts in everything, no matter how much we wish we could.

    The evidence that you are a great parent is in caring and realizing when you are out of your area of familiar expertise, then seeking input to close that need.

    The right thing to do is reach out to a professional or 2 and get multiple opinions, then weigh those opinions up with the child you know and love. Decide from there on what is a good course of action. An outside opinion often helps us with blind spots, but get more than one if you can.

    I usually go into hard ignore mode. Actively go out of my way to avoid them.

    If you show any friendliness then you can end up dealing with being told they have a boyfriend, being called a creep or other names, making them uncomfortable because they’re obviously on the receiving end of unwanted attention regularly etc.

    Just way easier and less stress to give a wide berth.
