Only 35 and already wising up? Shit, he's ahead of the game! I didn't wise up until 50, and I'm not so sure I wised up then - I'm more of the opinion that I just got lucky!
My wicked and mis-spent youth was lived on the edge, for the danger. Because of that, I've been married 4 times. Wives are not a thing a man should collect, and they get expensive after a while, but there it is.
First wife offered to kill me in my sleep numerous times. She never got it done of course, since I'm here, but it made for a lively marriage. She did some time in the looney bin when we separated at the end.
Second wife... well, shit that would take pages to go over, and the read would be a nail biter.
Third wife - never met anyone who looked so poor and lived so rich. No way I could keep up with the spending. She booted me out for a year so she could have a few flings, then when the money dried up begged me back. I went, hoping to get some of my stuff back, but never got it. Instead, she had me arrested on trumped up bullshit charges, and stole and sold most of the rest of my valuables while I was on a mandatory two day lockdown. She did teach me to never judge a book by its tits, though.
Fourth wife was the charm. met her on the internet (at ATS), traveled half way across the country to meet up sight unseen, got married within 5 hours of my boots hitting the ground there, and never looked back. 8 years on, still going strong. I picked a winner this time, but again I don't think it was wisdom so much as pure dumb luck.
Now I've outlived the second and third wives.
RAT-ing the computer was a stroke of genius on the part of your son. Did that with my second wife, for use during those times when we were separated. Third wife stole my laptop while I was on that mandatory lockdown, then after I got acquitted of her bullshit charges, tried to give it back to me. Nope. I know how that RAT-ing shit works. No thanks. Broke all ties, and intended for them to stay broke, so I told her she stole that shit fair and square, so it was all hers. have a nice life. I didn't feel any need for her to be able to track me or monitor me.
There is a sweet poetic justice in turning revenge back against the attempted revenger, though. It's a sort of "throw that shit at me, so we can see how it splatters when it hits YOU!"
What's not to love about THAT?

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
