Lisa,
Not to worry. From the sound of Tom you have, and will continue to do great. By 15 they are fundamentally the person they are going to be...and he's a good one.

Katie was my 10-going-on-20 kid. She was near PERFECT as a little child then was a pain in the butt as she went through her teen years. The other day (Wednesday) I spent the day helping her move from Santa Monica to Oceanside (about 100 miles south in SoCal) because she just took her Bar exam in July, got a job, and is awaiting the results in November.

At the end of the day we were sitting on her balcony joking about her teen years. The aliens that took her brain during the teen years (Bill Cosby's joke) apparently have brought it back and she is the sweet, easy, smart kid she was as a little one. It'll happen the same for you. They'll make their mistakes no question, but with a parent like you they will come out just fine. Talk to you in ten!
