[QUOTE="tracyf551, post: 239340, member: 4764"] You are not alone. I found this site a few years back and it has helped me beyond words. Stay with us and lean on all these wonderful people. Look for support groups in your area, they're are more than likely many more parents going thru the same thing. My difficult child turned 18 last May and due to many reasons he was put out of the house in August 08. He too has been in many accidents as a passenger. I've gotten those phone calls, fortunately from him and not a police officer telling me he was gone. I did get one from a police officer on New Years Eve, difficult child was in a car that was pulled over and he was drunk and his BAL was .18-totally smashed. My mistake was i went and got him. Hang in there, you are not alone. You'll see that we all have been there and done that. Unfortunately our difficult child's have no idea what this does to us or most of the time they don't care. Keep in touch and don't let this consume you. It took me 5 to 6 years to "detach" it's a better feeling, trust me. [/QUOTE]
