[QUOTE="MissJuneBug, post: 710449, member: 21628"] I understand the struggle you are having.... it's not easy to be in this situation. Do you think she is having sex with Ferb or other students or is it just a way for her to feel young again? Do you think she leads them on and Ferb will get his heart broken? I agree if he pays for his phone, he has a right to privacy. AND he is 18. 18 year olds don't have the best judgement but we learn through our life experiences, both good and bad.... especially the bad. I learned a lesson that hard way last year. My son had been confiding in me some of his issues (including addiction to porn). He even told me the name of the website he goes to for recovery support from this. I was very surprised he would confide in me this way and felt we were getting closer. Like a dummy, I told my husband because I have committed to being open with him regarding our son. Well, husband walked in one night during a bad episode I was having with son who had been drinking and said, without preamble, "what's this I heard about you being addicted to porn?" I saw immediately that son felt I had betrayed him. He has not confided in me since and has shut down in a big way. I was establishing a relationship with him and making inroads and then I blew it. This seems to have been the start of the latest downaward spiral. I just can't seem to reconnect with him. I'm [B][U]very[/U][/B] sorry I opened my mouth. I was operating under the assumption that husband had a right to know everything and would use good judgement with the information but son was operating under the assumption that I wouldn't break his confidence. I cannot tell you how much I regret doing that. Trust can be hard to re-earn from both sides of the parent - child relationship. So, I totally get where you are coming from..... [/QUOTE]
