[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 629585, member: 1157"] I get needing to "look." I do that with my difficult child brother on Facebook. He spouts some crazy stuff, but at least I know he's still alive. And still crazy, which resolves my decision to keep my distance. That said, looking comes with that ever-present caveat: if you're gonna look, you gotta be prepared for what you might find. It's a double edged sword, for sure. difficult children are sooooo good at revving up that pity train. It's so easy to twist things to make themselves look like a victim. I believe that sooner or later, though, even their "friends" start to figure it out. It's why many difficult children cycle through friends.. many wise up, and move on. I agree this makes it easy, in a way. It confirms that he is in no way ready to change, and that not helping him is absolutely the right decision. Make that list if you want to, just don't send it. I personally think just writing it out can help a great deal. Write it out, and burn it :) Stay strong! [/QUOTE]
