This is something that I see more fully now that Myranda is older too. She has talked a lot about some of the things going on during her high school years that just don't sound real for a teenager to have to deal with. She always talked to me a lot.... more than most kids.... but since she's away from home she's done even more. Gees, I dunno how some of them kids come out sane!!!
Jr's not talkin' to us much. But he has a great group of male leaders he can (and does) talk to in youth group. It's really a place of refuge for him.
