[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 470455"] TL - you wrote it perfectly. My difficult child occupies my thoughts most of the time. I HATE IT but I am powerless to stop it. Once in a blue moon I will text him and he will text back and I will feel at ease for a bit. If he doesn't text back, I feel worse so it's a crapshoot. Otherwise - I play a LOT of iPhone Scrabble. I also have started doing the Crossword Puzzle in the paper in the morning. I actually play iPhone Scrabble in bed before I fall asleep. husband is not thrilled with that - may even be a lil' insulted. But I finally explained to him that it keeps my mind occupied until I can no longer keep my eyes open. Otherwise, I would just lay there and let my mind wander until I become so preoccupied that I can't sleep. (of course he has other ideas about keeping busy in bed...but that's a whole other post not suited for a Monday afternoon) Unfortunately, my other two iPhone activities center around difficult child - checking his phone records and checking his roommate's prolific crude and uncensored Tweets. On good days, I figure the tweets and the phone activity mean difficult child is still alive. On bad days, I realize he is calling/texting everyone but me and that he is living in an apartment filled with porn, sex, drugs and booze and a complete absence of any decorum, morals or health. Frankly, his roommate would tweet "OMG, my roommate has stopped breathing and is bleeding on my gd sofa" then post a picture of a dead difficult child in a crude pose, then tweet something about football, long before he would call 911. Reading those tweets is an exercise in self punishment but they are the only window I have into difficult child's world. (no, I don't "follow" difficult child's roommate - the tweets are unlocked for the world to see) I made my first appointment with a counselor for Monday Oct 24. EEP [/QUOTE]
