Of course, if the opposite situation were to happen, he'd be welcomed to ask me questions and I'd be willing to give him access to the information sources I've found and consider worthy.
What role do you have as a parent, never one of guidance?
If your child were to begin to develop an irrational or self destructive ideology what would you do?
