Dear Nana:

Regarding your fear that “he will go astray again”, there is only so much you can do to postpone that from happening: you can’t (and he won’t let you) be with him 24/7 and pay full attention to every stress he experiences and then protect him from his impulsivity.

Regarding the relationship “could have been beautiful”, it requires self control and effective communication to make it beautiful on the long run, and these two things are not his strong points.

I will be away from the computer for about sixteen hours. Feel free to  post as many times as you would like. I will reply further when I am back. Other members may reply to you as well before I am back.
