[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 424512, member: 84"] Welcome to the board Tatianna It is devastating to be estranged from your child, whether it is by choice or not. We were estranged from katie and the grandkids for many years. While we had no contact, I managed to track her via the internet......let me know that at the very least she was alive and where she was. So I understand how you feel. I understand your fear concerning the military..............but honestly? It might be the best thing for him. Many difficult children respond to the routine and strict discipline believe it or not. He can further his education via the military as well as be trained for many many different jobs that can transfer to civilian life. He'll have a roof over his head, medical care, and food in his stomach. All good things. I know it used to be you could find military family members via the Red Cross. I have no clue if they do it these days or not. But my husband was military for 15 yrs. Just asked him, he's saying Red Cross too, but you need his social security number. They'll find him, his CO will tell him to contact his parents, then you should hear from him. However that call may not be pleasant if he's not wanting contact. My mom used this to find my sister.......she'd went TDY without telling anyone, scared my mom to death. Sis was a tad ticked at mom cuz her CO was more than a tad ticked at her for not keeping family in the loop. lol I hope you can find him and reconnect.......even if it's distant and an I just know you're alive and well sort of thing.
