Circa 2015
Being a parent wasn’t always easy, and Sean was sure that he and Josh were far from perfect. Still, he never regretted their decision to first foster and then adopt Caroline. He had developed such a fondness for her when she was first at Hammel, and he was proud to say that strong connection allowed him to be a father to her. She and Josh had a lot in common in their own way, which allowed him to be a father to her, and Sean truly couldn’t be happier.
Of course, a sixteen-year-old was far different from a thirteen-year-old, particularly one who had been as sheltered and innocent as Caroline had been when she was first at Hammel. There were bumps and scrapes along the way, as was always the case with childrearing. Some were no different from when he had been a teenager, such as eagerness over driving and the general melancholy of trying to have a peer group as an adolescent with all of the hormonal and emotional baggage that came with it. Others were relatively new, byproducts of this modern age.
Like Internet addiction.
He and Josh had nipped that as close to the bud as possible. The end result was that Caroline didn’t have her own computer, but it was for the best, until she had this under control.
For Sean, it was a more hypothetical problem than it was for Josh or Caroline. Of the three of them, the telepath used the computer the least: primarily for research, some communication, and a bit of shopping. He was a bit old-fashioned that way, in that he would rather sit at the kitchen table and do a crossword puzzle than entertain himself online.
