What mother’s heart would not melt every time a daughter says of her, “Ask my gal pal. She knows everything about me?” This, after worrying often enough that giving birth to Emma at age 17 undermines my mothering.
I was chilled to the bone when I walked in on a delicate question “Where can I buy self defense products for women online?” that she inserted in a phone conversation just as she had turned 17 herself and could be replicating my errors.
I once surprised her with a bicycle safety light after she took an interest in personal security devices. She had wondered aloud about my cell phone stun gun and we got to chatting about the Taser and pepper spray.
I was taken aback by her bypassing me, whom she had declared her closest friend, on the whole “where can I buy self defense products for women online” issue. However, I said nothing.
Over dinner one week later, she finally let it out: “Hey, Mom, where can I buy self defense products for women online?” I pretended to hear it for the first time and waited calmly for the subsequent explication.
An overbearing boyfriend was the explanation returned to me, who warned of circulating tall tales of her surrendering virginity to a rapist lest she agreed to sleep with him. She could have fought back with her personal safety alarm right there.
“I wanted to break up with him peaceably and asked uncle where can I buy self defense products for women online,” she divulged while on the verge of tears.
At 17, I floundered badly and here was my daughter being wise beyond her years. It was heartwarming. I called upon my referenced paramedic brother in no time and we put together a women’s safety kit, getting Emma involved.
