[QUOTE="DDD, post: 563169, member: 35"] Are you physically fit? Not trying to be funny. I took difficult child#1 out of State to spend a long weekend at easy child's house in Ga. Around eleven I "knew" that difficult child was not settling in for the night. When he said "I'm going to stay up and watch movies for awhile, Mama." Hmm...I got my coat, keys, and wallet ready. Sure enough about thirty minutes later I heard him head for the door. About a New York minute later I was out the door behind him. I don't know how far we walked with him a half block in front of me the whole way. He had spotted an all night liquor store two days before when we arrived. Long story short. As he stood looking at the liquor store (and making sure I was still alive, lol) I spotted a pizza joint. I hollered out "Why don't we get a pizza?" He hollered "I do NOT want a pizza." I hollered "Maybe it will make us both feel better?" We ate the pizza and drank soft drinks. We walked back to easy child's side by side. I "think" I "saved him" for one more night. I KNOW I did not inspire him to join AA. That story is part of his "Legends of my Mama" series. I have always done what I thought I had to do at the time. Think thru your options and possible results. Be true to yourself AND don't put yourself in danger tailing him in the wee hours. I understand. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
