But there IS something she can do about it. Sometimes the tendency to overanalyze on these boards goes too far. Ro saw something on SS's FB page from OW. Ro wanted to discuss this with H so he would be aware and sensitive of what was happening and the timing ramifications for SS. That's part of being a wife is noting and pointing out emotional things H might not be aware of. She's trying to protect SS's senior special moments most of all here.
That's worth discussing with H, Ro. Now that the message disappeared maybe it's been taken care of. Both you and SS's mom have an interest in his welfare, legitimately. Glad you're looking out for him, and from his mom's recent message to you, she is too. Keep it up.
All the feelings you have about OW and the amount of control you have over SS's relationship with various people is all interesting to get into here, but it's all tangential to the point you brought up about OW posting on SS's FB. You were right to be concerned about that. You are a GREAT stepmom.
