I'm supposed to be going away for the weekend with DS2 (12). It has been arranged for a long time (about 8 months). It's a break with a lot of other friends - his and mine. We both want to go...
I'd be leaving DS1 (17) home alone. I haven't done that for about 15 months, largely because I haven't felt I could trust him. I have had lots of problems with him this year (as some of you will know) - including college drop-out, drug-taking and a burglary that was carried out by someone who had our key (who was therefore almost certainly one of his friends someone he had invited into our home). However, we have had two very settled months, he is back in college, and he is much happier and better behaved. :)
On the one hand, it would be good to trust him again... On the other hand, I don't quite...
So, should I go?
And/or are there any things I could do to make me feel like it would be OK to go?
