Telling the other parents?

Just for clarification, they are not images, just text messages.

I´d recommend that if you at all feel like you have to do anything, that you speak to your son about this, but don´t interfere in their relationship. Through his upbringing, he should know and have got the help to do the right thing and know what is right and wrong. At the end of the day, he´s got to take care of himself.

As a 17 year old who used to live a life like this and trying to leave it, i have experienced it. Don’t tell her parents or her, your son will be very upset with you, his girlfriend will be very upset with you, and your son will probably get a lot of crap at school, at least that’s what has happened where I live. In terms of dealing with it I can’t give u any advice other than to talk to your son, but don’t bring anyone else into this because it’s going to cause your son serious social problems because this will get out to other people, and it may put a serious burden on your son and your relationship.

I totally support this.

I am in disbelief, but cautiously hopeful. The girl accused me of grabbing her and scaring her, and my son said he believed her and not me. At that point I really got upset (didn’t lose control but was visibly shaken) and had to leave the house to calm down. She has accused others of assault and being part of of this drama is killing me. (she has so many sob stories for my son it’s crazy)
When I came back my son was gone, with no word and no phone (because I had taken it). After a few hours of his absence I started driving around town (after dark at this point) trying to find him and broken hearted that this was happening.
My younger kids called to tell me he was back at about 9pm. When I got home I was crying and kind of a hot mess.
Anyway, he was completely repentant and told me that he had gone to see a friend, and that friend helped him to see that a girl who encourages him to treat me the way he’s been treating me has got to go. My son told me how blessed he was to have two strong mothers, one here with him and one in Heaven, and that he knows how hard I’ve been praying.
I know he was sincere, but I also know that getting up and making those tough decisions today is going to be hard.
I am so spent and exhausted, but I wanted to thank you all for your wisdom.
