[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 498959"] Its a balance that is for sure. When my son was on the streets last week I checked his phone logs a lot because seeing he was texting somebody gave me comfort because then I knew he was still alive. I am checking facebook but he has friended me so I am not really snooping although he may not think about me seeing it. If I see something on there that is disturbing it bothers me.... but I have learned for the most part to let it go. It is his life and his choices at this point. And sometimes I see things on there that give me hope which is why I like to check it. However when i start getting obsessive about it then I need to give myself a break from doing that. I know my difficult child has done all sorts of bad things I don't know about... and it is probably just as well I don't know. Now that I know he is safe I have less need to check his phone records... still like to get a sense of his frame of mind from facebook though. It is a matter of doing what feels good to you.... if watching what he is doing is upsetting you and making you obsess then it is time to stop for a while. TL [/QUOTE]
