Just an introduction here...

I'm a single mom with 2 boys, 19 and 14. Ds19 is "almost" on his own right now, but I'm expecting him back home at any moment! LOL We live in a tiny town in West Texas.

I've been lurking here for a little while and look forward to getting to know you all better. :)

Welcome to the board. One of the nice things about boards like this is that you find out that millions of other parents of teens are fighting the same battles.

Welcome! I've been here a year or so now -- I'm in SoCal with a 14yo DD and a near 12yo DS. I have a BIL in the Houston area.
