I know I made poor choices as a teen. I really do believe now in abstinence before marriage. The sexual act was never meant to be shared with multiple partners. It ruined me for all my future relationships. Which I obviously have not done well at. I would have been better off saving myself for marriage and having that Christ like love in my life for all my life instead of being alone at 55, with a broken family.
Could you have told me this at 16? NO. I would not have listened. Should I have just married my first? I doubt it would have lasted for me because of my "free love " state. Or maybe my Lutheran upbringing would have kicked in and I would have worked as hard on that marriage as I did with Pat.
It doesn't matter now. The past is done and I am forgiven. I still must go through the consequences of my poor choices.
Anyway I am insecure in my presence around teens because I revert to my insecure child....
Of course another thought I had was I'm probably such a good KG and first grade teacher because my child never grew beyond that age!
I'm just lonely. I think it is because I've been used to having someone around for better or worse 31 years. It gives me lots of time to think.
