[QUOTE="UpandDown, post: 693375, member: 19025"] Rebelson, I can relate but I agree with the above advice....About a year and a half ago, I would read every single text and history etc in a desperate attempt to get into my son's world and keep him safe. It just about broke me. I would read something he texted to a trusted friend and desperately reach out for help for him. It honestly was a form of torture. And I would spin and spin trying to find ways to help him. And you are not necessarily getting the whole story from these searches. Like SWOT said, perhaps he considered drinking and thought better of it. He is in sober living if I am following correctly and you HAVE to find a way to let him work things out. I so get where you are. I am way better (thanks to this site) about my involvement but am still guilty of reading things I shouldn't from time to time. What helps me is that when I slip and do snoop, I usually experience tremendous anxiety and slip into a dark place. And then I notice that he is just going about his business, happy as can be , living his life while I am sick with worry. I am working really really hard to live happily and without fear and cloaking myself in his ups and downs does absolutely nothing for me nor him. hang in there, you can do it! We are all here for you. [/QUOTE]
