My grandson who I have legal custody of appears to be *** or have *** tendancies. I have caught him on *** sites and he denies it. I have come out and asked him and yet he still stays he is not ***. He is driving me crazy trying to get my approval of his relationship with a neighbor that I am not familiar with stating that he listens to him. I am not comfortable with the idea. This is an adult male who recently got into a fight with another neighbor. I have forbidden him to visit with this person saying it is not appropriate, yet he keeps coming back to me with this same subject. I am starting to think there is more to this than meets the eye.
My grandson is very vunerable right now because he does not have his father in his life and is starting to get very angry about it. I try to offer him different avenues such as joining a swim team. Something to keep him busy. But it seems as if any down time is spent on why?, why? why?. Why can't I see this person? Why don't you listen to me?, Why won't you let me talk? I see this as a distraction to nag me until I give in. I'm much wiser than I used to be. I have already raised 3 children, so this is my second time around and am not as naive as I used to be. I have told him that whatever the case I would support him no matter what, but I refuse to allow him to indulge in an inappropriate relationships with an adult male.
Please give some advice on how to help him with this transition into his manhood. Help me show him the proper way to do this.
It is normal to be curious about ***. The problem is that this very natural thing has been corrupted and turned into a nasty thing.
Rather than admonishing him why not try talking about *** openly as if it is normal. If your grandson is old enough encourage him to be open about his ***uality. The last thing you want is for him to take his ***ual needs underground where all the bad people are.
My father took me to a p**n store when I wan 13 and I have learned to be completely open and unrepressed about my ***uality. Of course my wife who does not come from such an open family and does not allow our children to see **ually oriented pictures.
Be open and encourage him to talk about it. Do not make him feel guilty for his thoughts or activities. By the way it is very normal for boys and girls to ******bate.
