PARENTING | THE AUTHENTIC ECLECTIC
The Cop Raised His Eyebrows, Shook His Head, and Judged Me as The Worst Mom Ever
Believe me, I already knew - but I’m not alone
I am an ass.
You are the worst mom ever.
I know. Believe me, I know.
“Do you have any idea where your daughter ran off to?”
Obviously not Officer, or I wouldn’t be here begging for your help.
The interview took place in the Principal’s office at the local High School where my daughter in question was a Sophomore. My middle child was also a student there, in the younger Junior High wing.
My eldest daughter and her boyfriend decided to run away from their families that didn’t understand them. The one saving grace came with their lack of driver’s licenses or cars.
My husband was driving the streets looking for them while I met with the school officials. The two hadn’t shown up for the first bell.
Fears centered on their safety ~ they had no money, no resources.
They were soft teens who wouldn’t last long in the harsh elements of snow and ice.
