As I sat with Ashley during an appointment last week, I listened as she gleamed with pride talking about her 15-year-old daughter. She had just gone to her first homecoming dance, was about to begin working a seasonal job at a local haunted house, and was maintaining straight A’s as she began her freshman year. I asked if she had any other children. “I have a 16-year-old son and things aren’t as easy with him,” she admitted.
