[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 695031, member: 17720"] I received a voicemail from a deputy today, originating near the city where d.c. last said he was. husband returned the call. The deputy said that d.c. was picked up for hitchhiking and had no phone and no identification, and he wanted to verify d.c.'s story, which is that he has been stranded and we won't help him and he is trying to get to Denver. He told husband that d.c. has "fallen on hard times, is working odd jobs and has only $20 on him." husband told the deputy that all of that sounds true, and that it is true that we will not give d.c. any financial help. husband told a brief summary of the back story since the last time we "helped" d.c. The deputy asked if d.c. has a criminal record, and husband said he does not. The deputy said that he had kids of his own and said, "I know this is really hard stuff. He again said that d.c. is "pretty hard up," and said that he could give d.c. a place to sleep tonight but after that he was on his own. husband agreed that it is indeed really hard stuff. He told the deputy that d.c. needs to work through this, that he has some stuff to work through, but it all starts with quitting drinking. That everyone in his life has told him he needs to quit drinking, but he believes he does not. husband told him that all of our help only seems to help d.c. continue drinking, so we aren't going to help him anymore. He told the deputy that we have been dealing with this for a very long time. The deputy asked, "If d.c. calls you, will you pick up the phone?" husband answered, "Honestly, at this point we don't know." And that was the end of the conversation. Difficult Child has not called, although he has been on FB most of the afternoon and into the evening. I have not initiated a conversation, nor has he. He has not tried to call us. He has been on FB every day, most days several times a day, since he "got stranded." How does he do this with no phone? I am glad to know he is all right and has a safe place to sleep tonight. I agree with everything husband told the deputy. I am not sure if d.c. asked the deputy to call, or if the deputy was just verifying his story since he has no ID. Your thoughts? [/QUOTE]
