Sorry, caught your reply too late in the LB to get back to you. Yup, teach them skills, what's right and wrong then you have to let them fly, it's damn hard to watch them make the same mistakes we made but hey, it's what it took for us to learn and we became stronger for our mistakes, they'll be fine. But it is hard, Love can be painful sometimes.
When I was a teenager and started doing stuff I shouldn't have my father told me,
"I didn't raise you like that, you know better. From here forward I can't take credits for all the good you'll do and I won't take the blame for the wrongs you'll do."
