No definitely not.  You say you are a strong woman, well then keep your past history to yourself.  The only male who you should have shared such information with is DH.  If there is no DH now, then your son should  not be a replacement in any way.  It is also very hard to say in college just what heavy or even light alcohol use or drug use may have  been contributing factors to such situations on both sides.  The one thing you can do for your son is to help him understand how drugs and alcohol and sex are not a good combination.  And to have a relationship build around other things which in college could mean even a couple of dates beforehand.  You have a history, but do not make him a continuing part of it.  Also realize that such information never stays secret so would you really want it all around.[/quote]

I don't know if this is your intention but your response reads like its something she should be ashamed of. Which is odd to me? Why should she be ashamed to the point of secrecy?

I'm not even advocating that she tell her son necessarily, but I don't get why no one should EVER know something like it but your DH.

I do agree that you shouldn't try to lean on your kids in absence of the support you would have in a spouse for any reason but that isn't necessarily the case here. [/quote]
