[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 749732, member: 15801"] Thank you both. One really nice thing happened yesterday. My daughter who is 24 and very together called me. She has no relationship with her brother and has set firm boundaries around not seeing him. Anyway we saw a play with her on Sunday that is really about a pretty messed up family.... so she called and said shed been thinking about me and noticed I was emotional during the play and she wanted to make sure I was ok!! It felt like a turning point in our relationship because she was checking on how I was feeling rather than my just being there for her and she listened and was very supportive when I told her how I was really feeling. Usually I try not to talk about my son because I know she doesnt want to hear it. It meant a lot to me. I talked with her about my plan to drive up today if I didnt hear from him, she gave me some good advice. Wanted to make sure I would call her before and after etc. Anyway right after that call I did get a text from my son that he was safe, and would probably go back soon. I am not sure I believe him, he may just want to get me off his back, but it was a relief to hear from him and to let go at least for the moment the nightmare scenarios in my head. So I am getting ready for my trip tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
