[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 32669, member: 59"] Wow Sue, I don't have any idea about the magic stuff and I agree with your question of whether it's better to know. I have my difficult child's password to both her email and myspace accounts. I regularly go on myspace to check out what she's doing/saying. Last year when she was at her worst it was the only way I could keep ahead of her. I was able to tell when she was going to run away or where she was going and if drugs or drinking were involved. I used it a number of times to locate her and to know who her friends were. I have to say that while I liked being able to keep track of her, I was also under a lot of stress and wondered whether not knowing was better. In the end I'm glad I was able to track her but then I did have physical custody and was able to stop some things from happening. If she wasn't living here I'm not sure I would want to go through the stress of it all. I don't know what you can do about the magic stuff. Drugs and drinking are illegal but magic isn't so you have very little leverage. In the meantime I would not give away that you have his password. I had to be very careful not to do that myself, even when I was dying to confront her about some of it. Nancy [/QUOTE]
