About my high school son's love affair

Nice to meet you.
I have a question about my son who is in his second year of high school.
I recently learned that the woman my son has been in a relationship with for a few months is a single mother who is 10 years older.
I was so surprised that I harshly blamed my son.
After that, my son didn't talk to me at all, and he didn't eat at home.
I have interfered too much with my son for a long time, and when I get home late, I just can't suppress my anxiety.
I don't know how to deal with my son from now on.

Thank you so much for your guidance.

The weight of responsibility called freedom

After all, I'm underage.
You should obey your parents.
----------
My son probably thinks it's his own freedom, but that's sweet.
There is no greater responsibility than freedom.
----------
As a mother, I probably don't care, but please leave this to my husband, who is my father. My son is in the process of growing up as a man.
I have feelings that only a father who is responsible for his family can understand. Please be aware that it is your role now to try to make time for men.

If you look at the essence, won't you get an answer?

You seem to be quite worried about your son who is in high school.
Certainly, I understand the feeling that a single mother was surprised when it came to her partner.

I'd like to ask you a few questions, but in the first place, why are people opposed to dating single mothers who are 10 years older?
Conversely, if they didn't have children, would they have agreed?
If my girlfriend was a high school girl, would she have agreed?

They say they can't help but worry if they return home late due to excessive interference on a regular basis, but while it is excessive interference, “why did that happen?” Are you talking about the reason for this by looking right in the face with your son?

Did they talk about the reasons why you were against dating?

If it were me, “Think about what kind of responsibilities you can take on your own in the future for her children. If they eventually get married, will they be able to properly live their lives responsibly with their children?” I'm going to talk about that.
If you don't feel like getting married or just want to be together, speak clearly as the same woman that it's disrespectful to the other woman.

What is the nature of the problem?
I think I'm responsible.
Of course, relationships between high school students must also have responsibilities, albeit in different forms.

If my son were just looking for an older, kind woman... who would surround him with anything... I wouldn't have a good answer to my current question.

Of course, if your son has any thoughts or visions he can take responsibility for, please listen carefully.

If you're just looking for a woman like an older, kind mom who can embrace your son or anything, regardless of responsibilities, isn't now your chance to face and talk to your son?

Of course, I think it's okay to talk with my husband.

I think now is your chance.

Liking people is freedom

Regardless of age, no matter who you like, it's free.
I'm uneasy when I think about marriage. As a high school student, to be honest, you probably still won't be able to make a calm decision.
You may be attracted to adult women, but in reality, there are barriers that cannot be overcome just by liking them.
Go ahead, mother, respect her son's feelings, and don't scold her brazenly, but admonish him that she understands his feelings... Also, if it's possible, it might be better to have your father tell you rather than tell it from your mother.
When I was in high school, I think there was a sense of rejection of my mother's interference.
Please respect your child's feelings.

Let them “learn” from within themselves

“I don't blame you for going out with that person anymore, and I officially approve it, so listen carefully.
Instead, once you have a child, take financial responsibility for the rest of your life to take care of your own child and that person and the person before you.
If it's 200,000 to 1,000,000 a month until one child enters college, it's 3 million in 12 months. (As I wrote on paper) 10 million in 22 years until university. Plus, that person's child support and that person's living expenses are at least 1,000,000 per month.
If I can do that, I have nothing to complain about.
It's a great act to even take care of people's children, so do whatever you like. From now on, you should be prepared to earn everything yourself. High school expenses are my parents' obligation, so I'll pay for them, but you are responsible for your family, so be prepared to work now and seriously look for work.
By the way, in order to raise you, Dad puts 100,000 dollars into the house every month to support me and you. You should do that to her, too.”
Please say what you should say perfectly and throw it away.
The mistakes parents worry about won't become your own failure unless you learn by yourself.
Of course, in reality, failure is someone's convenient word, and essentially there is no such thing as failure.
However, let him do whatever he wants until he himself thinks “this was out.”
That means you have and let them have adult responsibilities as a parent of your child.
If you look at it from an adult's point of view, you value yourself and look at it through yourself.
It's about acknowledging that relationship once and for all.
Boys are reborn from wild freedom to a sense of responsibility by making them take responsibility and acknowledging them rather than throwing them away from you.
I acknowledge it. Instead of acknowledging it, I'm just trying to properly let the story between parents and children go as it used to be.
Once or twice a month, try reporting such stories and encouraging them to listen to them.
Having communication between parents and children is more important now.
If you continue to oppose it, they will repel more and more, and they will act dangerously bombardly as a backlash against your parents.
In order to hold it back, we should first talk about ❝ adults ❞ in order to restore the relationship between parents and children.
