[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 686393, member: 1157"] I'm sorry, I know those messages are tough to get. They pull at yur heartstrings. But I have to tell you that my gut reaction to this particular message (as an outsider) was a bit different. If my daughter sent a message like that to me on my Facebook wall, my initial reaction would be anger - not at the sentiment, but at the fact she put it on my wall for the world to see. That's pure manipulation. (am I jaded or what?!) Of course I don't know your son, and maybe he's not Facbeook savvy and doesn't realize it would be public? If not though, the fact he posted it publicly and didn't send it in a text or message is something to think about. Either way you were absolutely right to delete it and send a private message. It's so hard when you see them hovering near the bottom - the urge to help can be strong, those old feelings of "maybe this time is it." Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
