    My heart is breaking - UPDATE

    Gfg is still on the run. My friend in FSJ has given me information which I have passed on to the police and the probation officer. Nothing has happened. I got another email from her (my friend) last night saying that she had talked to her son (who is also a GFG) and he told her that my gfg had been kicked out of a bank a few days ago for sleeping on the floor and has headed off to Alberta by herself. I havent heard from gfg in a month.

    She is so vulnerable. How could my friend (who is just a parent) get information on my daughter and the police couldnt/wouldnt/didnt find her??? It frustrates me to no end. I am so scared for my gfg. If in fact she has actually taken off to Alberta, that something really bad is going to happen. Im almost at the point where Im going to be contacting the media and asking them if they an put something on the air about her and if anyone knows of her whereabouts.

    Im trying so hard to detach, I really am, but its SO hard.

    It's horribly frustrating when you can "find" her, and the ones who are supposed to be experts at it can't. But you wouldn't know where she was if it weren't for this friend of hers. Keep passing along the info as quickly as you get it. Hopefully they can catch up with her before she gets into big trouble.

    Sending up prayers.

    oh man! i know what you are feeling!

    my gfg son is out sleeping in cars or whatever else he can find. there is at least one warrant out on him. it really stinks!!!!

    i will pray for us all! the serenity prayer has been helping me stay sane!

    hugs!

    p.s. i have an excellent therapist and she told me our words are powerful. although my heart is breaking, i refrain from using those words, it just reinforces negative vibes. try to stay positive.

    Re: My heart is breaking.

    I would be tempted to go to the media as well. or at least hang posters of her around. be prepared though for negative attention as well if you go that route.

    Re: My heart is breaking.

    I feel for you too. My daughter ran wild in Alberta for 8 months last year. so many times I cried myself to sleep...... no address, no phone. I don't know how she survived, but somehow she did and after much praying of many people she did come home. That hasne't been easy either, but at least I know where she is at night. I wish I could make it all better for you. Pray for strength, keep on going for your children at home.

    Re: My heart is breaking.

    Reading your post makes my heart heavy for your pain. Oh, I remember feeling so frantic when my GFG ran away and was away from home. Even when she hadn't run away but was away in foster care or at the RTC, it was so hard for me. Yes, our GFG's especially the girls are so very vulnerable. As mothers we are beside ourselves with grief and worry and you know what really stinks? Your GFG is probably having the time of her life! Rest your weary heart and soul, I hope your daughter shows up and you find some peace!

    Re: My heart is breaking.

    Boy, at 16 she is still very young. I know that with my two kids I was much more worried about L than M. The girls are so much more vulnerable to predators. Not to say that boys aren't, but for the girls it's just plain scary. For M, I was more worried about his acting out violently or at least in a way that was against the law.

    I hope she will be safe.

    Ally,

    You mentioned contacting the media. How about filing a missing person report?

    I don't balme you for being scared. I hope you here from her soon!
