If only the world was so black and white.

I remember my dad saying something to me when I was a teen and just like that our relationship was changed forever and I never connected with him ever again.

It's really sad.

I guess he thought it was the right thing to do but he never stopped to consider the consequence.

Everyone here be like OP son be on a slippery slope to hard core sex offender but that seems very unlikely.

Put the panties back and he will know they have been found and he will know not to risk doing it again.

No awkward conversation needed. OP and son can continue to have a relationship.

Trust me, this is something the kid may never get over.

Sometimes you have to decide if there is a positive outcome to doing the right thing. Sometimes you have to be discreet.

The world is grey.
