[QUOTE="rebelson, post: 693619, member: 19966"] Oh no. I am so sorry! I think I'm the parent you referred to. It is so hard to just ignore access to their inner world when it's right there in front of us, basically. I wish I could admit to my son that I have access to his Google searches, so he could change his password! But, he is almost 24...and would be (I know he would be!) LIVID. In your case, I think it's different. Are you paying the phone bill? If yes, then you have a right to look. If you admit what you did, he may be more sneaky but it certainly would[B][I] limit [/I][/B]his 'options' to buy drugs. Texting is the primary means for these kids to hook up with a dealer. That or FB, maybe. I don't see how you can ignore that text. Our addicts are SO sneaky. I remember when my son was a teen, I'd often have 'talks' with him about something I was concerned about (a text I read, part of a convo I heard him having, etc). He'd allay my fears..and was very believable. Turned out MOST of the time, he was blowing smoke up my rear! They are very manipulative. I also don't take solace anymore when I 'think' son is doing well, or saying the right things. With all the years that have passed, I can't help but notice the trend that when I 'thought' he was doing great....he was doing the worst things! I don't mean to scare you, but sadly, it IS what it is. My son started this crap with weed and beer at barely 14ish and here we are 10yrs later. :frown: Please keep us posted. Hugs to you:semi-twins:. [/QUOTE]
