Hey Everyone :) I'm Kate and a level 2 mod on here. I've had this account since July 2004, so I've been on here since I was 13! Wow ... crazy for me to think how long ago that was. I will admit I don't check in as often as I once did, but being away at college, being in a sorority, and having a job when I'm not at school is very time consuming. I still try to help out as much as possible, and if you send me a question I WILL answer it. This site helped me a LOT when I was in high school and had a lot of questions, and I'm here to help anyone who needs it :) Feel free to write in my forum or send me a question any time!

My best friend of 15 years was acting a little cozy with my 17 year old son over the summer. Even against countless warnings, she still continued with her behavior. Of course this situation blew up resulting in her husband threatening to leave her and me and her not speaking for over a month. We did resume our friendship a little over 2 months ago, with her convincing everyone that we were imagining things. Recently however I discovered that she has been emailing my son ever since the situation began. Her husband found some emails and did not speak to her for 3 days. I on the other hand had no knowledge at all (even about the recent development with her husband) until I checked my sons email account where I found her latest email stating that her husband found out and she could not email for awhile. I confronted her and she stated that she felt like he needed a friend. The advice she gave to him resulted in a complete anarchy from my son. I feel extremely betrayed and she is acting as if she did nothing wrong. Do I end this friendship?

If I were in the same position as you I would probably end the friendship and do what I could to make sure my son kept his distance from her.
If there is anything more than this e-mail relationship going on then you could threaten legal action if she refused to end this inappropriate contact with your son.
There is no 100% way to make sure your son doesn't e-mail her because he could easily make new e-mail accounts or just continue on. Even if you took away the home computer he could use a public one. What you have to do is stress the importance of just keeping away from her to him. She sounds like she needs some therapy...
Anyway, if I were in your position I would keep both myself and my son away from her. In the end it's all up to you though.
(Rating: 5) Thank you for your advice, even though I have already arrived at this same conclusion, sometimes you just need to hear it from someone else.
