Show Notes for this Episode

 

  • My 14-year-old daughter thinks she is bi-sexual. How do we talk to her about decisions that can affect her life long term? 
  • My 12-year-old has ADD/Asperger. He has a fixation on porn and horror videos. What do we do?
  • My sister-in-law is a recovering addict. She is doing well in the last year; she lives on her own and got her kids back. She wants my kids to sleep over and I am having issues with that. Am I being too judgmental?
