Ds is 17 and has been doing the rounds of universities recently. Before he went out tonight he handed me a pile of papers from one of his preferred universities including a list of societies with the ones he liked the look of marked, one was the LBGT+ society, which is fine.

However, afaik as I know he isn't LBGT. Perhaps he's trying to tell me something, and if he is then it's fine. I don't know whether to take it as an oversight on his part and that he didn't mean me to see the societies list or if he's dropping a hint and I don't know whether to say something, maybe a comment that the societies list looks interesting so he knows I've seen it.

Help please !

I think he wants to talk you, make some conversation about how many societies there are, or what do you think you might join, gives you a back out if you have got it wrong. You sound like a lovely mum

Thank you. I tested the water by making a comment about how many there were and he was a little defensive and then went to bed, I'll see if he mentions it now he knows that I've seen the list.

Just ask him it's easier and remind him that regardless who
He sleeps with make sure it's safe
