[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 282669, member: 84"] After monitoring my kids MySpace accounts for years, I've got to go with crazy on this one. I'm not saying difficult child isn't having trouble or isn't in crisis. But many kids get pulled into the drama on MySpace with their friends and put stuff out there completely out of porportion to what is actually going on. I was lucky. I had other people to help me monitor Nichole's MySpace pages. So it wasn't always Mom snooping. easy child did alot of it for me. And being closer to that age group, weeded out alot of the drama from the reality. Nichole was in crisis. No doubt about that. But if you read her MySpace page at the time it would scare you to death. But not just drama. Nichole used MySpace as sort of a journal to vent what she was feeling. Which in my opinion everyone needs. And when people are venting, pouring their hearts out, they don't always mean everything they put out there literally. It's just how they feel at that moment in time. I'd definately get him into some therapy. That much loss so quickly is alot for anyone to handle. I never censured my kids pages. If you want to know what they're thinking then you've got to be ready to accept the good with the bad. Taught myself that lesson while reading easy child's journal. Censoring tends to cause them to clam up when you need them to let you know what they're thinking. Most especially in crisis. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
