[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 86451, member: 696"] Nola, I'm not really sure what else you can do. You've alerted authorities to his disappearance. You've fulfilled your parental responsibility with that. When he calls, you encourage him to make the right decisions. He is not talking to you long enough to let you know where he is, as well as he's not asking for anything. Short of hiring a private investigator and paying tons of $$ which you probably don't have....what else is there? This is the struggle that I know I have faced in the past. It's a never ending battle. I guess that's where I keep going back to Ant's mom's posts of Let go and let God. I don't want you to think that I think that you are ignoring or giving up...because that's not what's happening. in my opinion, it's a struggle I am fully aware of and have been in. Your feeling of helplessness, loss of control, and overwhelming fear of the unknown. What I've learned, is the system isn't funded and probably won't be funded appropriately, resources are few and far between, and ultimately it needs to be the "self" who makes the change. That self unfortunately might need time to mature and experience unpleasantness in order to mature and move forward. [/QUOTE]
