Er.. new at this.

So I didn't exactly finish my last post, but hey! Everything is a learning process right now.

So with that facebook debacle on my wall, for all my family to see, I was embarrassed to say the least. I lost my temper with the kid (well, he's 17) and cursed a bit more than I normally would. The problem was that he was saying things I usually say to myself in the mirror. "You aren't contributing anything, you stay at home all day" is a big one. It's very hard to hear it from someone else, especially from an arrogant teenager.

This whole thing has ruined my relationship with him. He has not apologized and he was not punished beyond being spoken to (which, to me, shows how little my in-laws respect me). I am still expected to take my girls over to their house twice a week. When we didn't go over there the day after this whole mess, Jayson received a phone call from his angry father and was chewed out at length. We are the bad guys in this, clearly.

So where do I go from here? I keep thinking about this incident and I'm not sure what I can do to get past it or to, at least, let it stop affecting me so much. Any thoughts? Am I wrong in thinking he should have been punished? I am in the dark, here.
