[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 657134, member: 17461"] I am sorry. You are doing the right thing. Now, for your own sake and especially as you prepare for your upcoming surgery, [I]you need to let go, Lil.[/I] You have done all you know or could learn. That's it. There is no more. What more there is will be for your son to decide. I am sorry this is happening, sorry for the hurt and confusion and anger of it. Oh, no. "...looking for him." Yay. Light at the end of the tunnel or whatever this is. Just a little light. Can you ask the police to do a check? I forgot what they are called, when you can ask the police to ~ a welfare check? Is that it? Whatever it's called, when we are concerned about someone we love who might be in trouble, we can ask the police to please do a welfare check. I have done that for our daughter. When we were down South and she was falling apart up North. They checked her for me more than once, and called me back afterwords. I would ask for the police to determine that he is alright. If you do that now and learn your son is just exercising his right to be a little rebel, then next time you will not be as frightened by this lack of response. We are their mothers. We love them. This is scary enough without adding in terror that is not necessary. If it were me, I would text him. If there is no response, I would ask for the welfare check as soon as the police can get there. I would tell my son in the text that unless I heard something from him within one hour (or whatever time you think), the police would be around to verify that [I]my child, whose freaking mother I am, [/I]is alive and is alright and hasn't overdosed or worse. That is what I would do. Nevermind what I said about calm dominance. We will be calmly dominant later, once we know he is alright. Cedar [/QUOTE]
