[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 634489, member: 18284"] MHHL -- That's AWESOME about you doing something for YOU and getting the bird! What fun! Yes, we all worry at times. Even when we reach the stage that we don't want to see them, but we do want to know they're alive. How could one not wonder? I hit that "wondering" frame of mind sometimes (like today!). I did resist the urge to check on him. I just assume he's AWOL as others have been asking us. We know nothing. It does help to just stop checking. Or, in my case, I may check his Facebook page every couple of weeks or so. If I see volumes of harmless posts (his fetish is tennis shoes), I just shrug it off and move on. If I see awful things (hate, drugs, weapons, etc), I get off PRONTO. I used to pursue it (once even identifying which hotel they were at manufacturing meth........cannot believe what people post on FB these days....and they TAG each other....lest anyone should question who they are. Not many axons and dendrites firing there!). Anyway, when I saw stuff that makes me feel AWFUL seeing it, I just can't look at it any more. I was tempted today, but I didn't look. Just seemed the healthier choice. I care that he's alive. But I also care that I'M alive -- and happy and healthy. :) We all deserve to pursue health and happiness! So...... here's the big question...... What did you name your bird? :D Does he talk? (the bird, not the difficult child! LOL!) I think that's very wise and fun that you got the bird! Forgive my joking if it's insensitive. For me, laughter changes my whole body chemistry for the better. If it doesn't do that for you (or at this moment), pardon the bad timing. My heart is with you, MHHL! PS -- Homeless and cold? We will buy our difficult child a warm winter coat. But the deal is that we get it at Goodwill as we know it may not last long. If difficult child agrees to Goodwill, he gets a warm used coat. If not? He can figure out how to get a coat on his own. So far, he's always agreed. I'm willing to put out $20 for a winter coat.
