[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 638854, member: 17269"] Step away from the facebook! My son's cover photo (the big one) for a long time was a picture of him giving the finger, with the same language in large print. I was mortified. and his posts were all about crazy, including offering to sell marijuana! or asking where to get it. I wanted to crawl under a rug. Instead I unfriended him. I will admit that I look now once a week or so from some one elses account to see if he has posted so I know he is alive...I try not to read much. And then there is the parade of young women who have asked to talk to me, to "explain" him to me, to express their dismay at my hardheartedness and bad parenting, to tell me how special his is....of course, they are nowhere to be found days, weeks, or at most months later. step away. Thank his aunt for trying to defend you. Tell her you appreciate her concern for you (you could interpret the beat the (*&^&*() comment out of him that way if you choose...choose that) and then...step away from the facebook. It is not the place to engage in ANYTHING other than family vaca pictures. Not to explain yourself, learn about others, play anything out, shame anyone. It just isn't. You can let his aunt know that she shouldn't feel she needs to acknowledge or reply either. Then...step away from the facebook. Think really hard...what good is there for you in ever, ever seeing his page? Hugs, and yours in facebook addiction, Echo [/QUOTE]
