I just spoke to a lovely friend of mine in Manitoba - Echoes/Brenda, and during the course of the conversation she asked for my son's name - no communication from him since Jan/2000 and have not seen him since Dec 1998. He was (is?) a drug addict, con artist, and abusive.
She found him on Facebook, working as a chef (as of 2009 - is he still there? don't know.
Here's his picture..... I'm a bit upset and don't know what to think. I would not want to contact him certainly, at this point. I've emailed his sister (my DD) and let her know. She goes on Facebook and Might be interested. He's a younger brother to her.
Not asking for opinions, just wanted to vent.... I'd be afraid to contact him anyway. He's over 30, but I'm sure has not changed from when he was 18 when I saw him last. "It's all about Me" according to him, and we're a dysfunctional family (NOT!). We're the reason he doesn't get to see his son (WHAT? We don't live with his ex, nor have any say over whether he sees his son - Dan just likes to make excuses for his behaviour........)
Sorry - this is depressing me, and I have to get offline. Thanks for letting me vent....
