[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 546486, member: 59"] Thanks everyone, your words mean so much to me and Sig you were able to say exactly what I was feeling so well. I do get on with my life. I have friends and activities and I am not sitting at home checking up on her or worrying but this was put in front of my face, I didn't go looking for what she was doing. I realize better than anyone that she is 21 and will do what she is going to do and she loves the fact that she doesn't have to answer to anyone. If she had been honest with husband and told him she would be gone a few days we would not have thought anything of it. But when she said she would be back that night and then wasn't and worse she had no phone activity and we didn't know who she was with or where she was and the last thing she told husband was that she was going out on the lake and it was almost dark by then and her pictures showed they had several cases of beer and she wouldn't answer our texts, well I'm not sure there was anyway to detach from that. I just wanted to know she was alive. I know that we are the only ones who understand the agony of not knowing where our difficult child is, there was no one else I could turn to who would understand the panic. Unfortunately our worries are often very real, we have seen what happens to addicts. What she did was normal behavior for a easy child, but difficult child's activities can turn tragic in an instant.
