He Hit Our Son...UPDATE

His dad is real buff so I know he didnt reach all the back from Methusla or else my son would've been on the floor. My son did cry, I figure it was from the embarrassment or something.   When my son came in, he immediately apologized about being disrespectful this weekend. He called his dad and told him when he got home he needed to speak with the both of us. He had a chip on his shoulder because his little heart got broken. Friday was their 1 year anniversary being together and he went to her house to find his best friend sneaking out the back door. That evening I KNEW something was wrong, he went in his room and went to sleep. I thought he got some good, good and wore himself out. lol   He acknowledged his mistakes, apologized to his dad, cried it out, CRIED IT OUT... I hope it's not true but she's been calling from the time he's got home until now. He doesn't want to talk to her. Now I got a whole new status, a whole new hurt. I've witnessed my son get his first broken heart.   Awwwww!!!!!!!!   I am glad y'all talked it out. Seems like you guys have a nice family.   Imma go crazy when some girl breaks my sons heart.

I've learned something from you sharing this.  I like the open flow of communication in your family.  You've covered sex, relationship, disrespect, discipline, etc...My son is only 2 years old, but it gets me prepared for what I'll have to deal with in 14 more years..

Awww I still remember my big guy when he was that age. I hope the world has changed a great deal in 14 years. It's hard raising a young man. I'm so glad his dad is here otherwise I would be lost..

Thank you. When he told me about it, that soft side went in auto drive. I had to snap out of it and remember what he did. I was pissed at her last night, I'm not gonna even lie. I kept it to myself though.

This story turned out nice. I feel it is natural for your feelings to be hurt when you see your husband and son fight or your son get hit. I would swallowed it and just allow my husband to handle it, He did give him plenty of warnings. I understand your son was upset about something, but why did he take out the disrespect on his dad and not you. And he will learn the same way your can mouth off he can come to yall and express his heartbreak. Your hubby loves your son just as much as you. I am in favor of butt whooping. I believe if you start with the butt nipping at a early age then hopefully by the teens you should only have to give them warnings. At least this worked for my house.......As far as his heartbreak, when I look back I thought I would never get over teen heartbreak. My teen love got another girl pregnant when I was a senior. She was putting out and I wasn't. That hurt like crazy, he had given me a ring and everything. I would of married him after college. But it was not meant to be. He is not a bad person, and neither is the young lady that hurt your son's heart. We do not know who she will grow up to be so people should not bash her. I am still friends with my teen love after more than 20 years. So life does work out. Blessings
