There you go again Katrina... trying to focus the blame on someone else.
Didn't you ever, as a teenager, go off and do things without your parent's permission? And what bearing does having their folks permission have with weather or not Mike should let them on the Ranch to camp?
Do campgrounds (which also charge a fee) require notes from Mommy and Daddy for teenagers to camp? Nope!
Dang it girl, if they were old enough to drive there, then the state of California thinks they're old enough to make intelligent decisions. If they didn't head Mike's warnings, what did you want him to do? Go hunt them down with his gun, threaten them and FORCE them to comply? That certainly would give you some more ammunition, wouldn't it? Give it a rest already!
I promised myself I wouldn't get stirred up on this forum, but Geeze-Louise... you would try the patience of Job! (Sorry Jobe... I'm talking about the bibical prophet... not you.)
Talk about provoking anger, resentment and all those other negative feelings. You certainly are the master.
Give it a rest... get some help for your head as well as your bitter heart.
