Stress Bunny, I am so glad you shared this for I go through similar issues as well with a difficult child and the same type of thing with siblings. It's so offensive to our sensibilities. The situation between your family members (son and sister) is so fragile as it is, and to have it come together like this , it literally feels like a bomb goes off in your emotions. I know exactly how you feel right now. I don't have any words of wisdom. My message is more or less thank you for sharing this because it makes me feel less alone. I don't feel so weird now in feeling the way I do about these types of situations. It seems that your sister kind of likes the drama aspect of it and will use it to make her feel better about herself. I don't understand why she has to tell your parents what JT says on facebook. It's bleeping facebook. All young people and young adults say stupid things on a daily basis on facebook. It's something that you don't bring into "real life" and mention to anybody unless it's super important of course. Your sister is making herself look foolish for doing that. Hell, you might even want to tell your son that his precious aunt reports everything he says on facebook to his grandparents. Of course, I would wait until after the holidays.
