I’d usually be found at school hugging a bottle of gingerale and periodically power puking in the bathroom when I was really sick.

I used to play Star Wars 4th Edition Pen and Paper RPG with a 40 year old and his 32 year old wife when I was 16. They were just harmless geeks, like me.

If anything, my mom making snarky comments about the 40 year old guy really soured our relationship for a while. My friend who was my age and who also played with us sent her a picture in the mail of the 3 of us holding hands under a rainbow. She was pissed.

It’s fine. Your son could just as easily be friends with someone his age that’s a psychopath. It’s in the person, not the age. At 18 you’re going to have to trust his judgement a little more.
