| Do you google your S or D?
I'm a regular CC member and I'm hiding under an assumed CC name. I'm so embarrased and don't know what to do. I googled my S yesterday. When he was in high school I'd google him from time to time to see what photos there were of him participating in EC's. Now that he's away, I've googled a few times to see the old photos and look for any new ones from his college activities. Yesterday I googled and found a young women had posted on a social networking site a picture of her "love" - my son & his full name..and when I scanned the webpage I found a conversation between the two. Seems my S is in love. Its very sweet - but I really feel bad that I peered into his life this way. & I am concerned that his full name and photo are on her page along with an intimate conversation between the two of them(nothing too inappropriate, but it still feels like a conversation that would be better off in private or at least anonymously).
It also reveals things about my son that he's never shown to me, like art work he's done. (Never has he shown me any art work and I had no idea he could draw - he has never shown any interest in art & I didn't think he'd picked up a pencil to draw since he was in the 2nd grade).
I think I need to just tuck the knowledge away and wait until he comes to me (or not). And maybe somewhere along the way have a conversation about being careful what and where you post on the internet. I'm still blushing from what I read in the conversation and for the first time I'm glad I don't have to face my son until he comes home for Thanksgiving (if he comes home and doesn't to go his girlfriends home...)
