[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 558980, member: 13542"] Hi BKS, don't judge yourself for doing what I have read on this board many, many times............parents check on FB and cell phones and whatever they can get their hands on to make sure their kids are safe. I think it's a natural response to the unnatural set of circumstances we find ourselves in. Perhaps it could be said, that it can inflict pain in the actual knowing of what they are up to, yet at the same time, it allows us to sleep, to know they're safe, they have a roof over their heads, they're eating, they're okay. I just don't think there are any 'rules' in the world in which we live, it's a sort of free for all where we do the best we can to stay sane under extraordinary circumstances................you may decide to check on FB one day, and then not for awhile. I guess it's all a part of detaching, like a rubber band we fly ahead and back and sideways trying to negotiate this territory and do it right. But, there just [I]'ain't[/I]' no right or wrong here, we just do the best we can. [/QUOTE]
