[QUOTE="slsh, post: 461869, member: 8"] JJJ - I'm so sorry. Sounds like the floodgates have opened and she's not going to stay put. I have no suggestions other than finding a locked facility ASAP. Though.... with- 18 fast approaching... I don't know. Seems to just be delaying the inevitable. At this stage, I just turned off the phone. I *really* resented the calls in the middle of the night - if staff wouldn't keep him from leaving, they could at least let me get a decent night's sleep. Sounds selfish, but it irked me no end that at 16 and 17, he was *still* being allowed to yank our chains. I think the last straw was an AWOL in the middle of a snow storm - worrying about him, did he have a coat, etc. It was an exercise in futility for me. I was sitting here envisioning worst case scenarios even though I was fairly confident he was "hanging" with- someone, safe and warm, which of course he was. I also did *not* discuss his AWOLs with him after the first 5 or so. My reaction seemed to just feed into the whole thing. Hugs and much sympathy. [/QUOTE]
