Lie low Pat, human nature being what it is, just let them sort it. I would not take any notice of Face Book friends.

I admire you doing Face book and all, I seldom hear from any of my 5 kids but 2, Erin and Eileen and even then not too often. My 2 sons are American now and have dropped Canada altogether it seems. Well they got busy enough making themselves wealthy my boys, can't fault 'em for that. All our good hockey players are in the U.S.A. most of them French Canadiens, so it won't be long before they will be hollering to separate from the U.S.A. and that will be peaceful.

She sounds like the girl that, once long ago, Son #1 wouldn't date anymore after a few scenes like that. One night around midnight she was pounding on his door and he wouldn't answer and she went out to the street and climbed on top of his car and jumped around all over the top of it and the hood and the trunk. Really dented it up before the police got there to cart her away.

Umm yes - we support but don't meddle. Even then we sometimes end up not getting out of the way fast enough...

Nope. This was the other one. They say a mother's only as happy as her unhappiest
child, and I'm beginning to think they're right.

I do know that Mama bear feeling dear Pat. You are doing the right thing. I must be confused because I thought that this was the son who had moved on, bought a doggie and had a new lady with children in his life.

She has a funny way of trying to get him back.
How could she think that ranting and screaming at him would get her what she wants? Well, we aren't talking sane and rational here, are we?
Your stepping aside, while letting your son know you're with him, and trusting him to work things out, is, on the other hand, totally sane and rational.

That's been very much my own policy, especially when the feces are being generated by peoples' love lives...
