[QUOTE="klmno, post: 173162, member: 3699"] been there done that- it is a TOUGH spot, I know. Hang in there. I do want to point out though, that unless you have a good feeling about where he is and what he is doing, you might to consider how you are going to handle it if a) he isn't home by a certain time and you feel you have to call police because you are wooried about him (they will require that you tell them how long he has been gone and other details and the court will learn about it all tomorrow) or b) if the police call you and asked you if you know where he has been and what he has been doing (because they now have picked him up for something else) and they will require you to explain why you didn't call them when he first left. I'm really not trying to make your night worse by telling you these things- I promise- but I have felt that "hot-seat" for over a year now and am just trying to prepare you. When difficult child disappeared for 2 hours while on probation, I did call police. True, difficult child has BiPolar (BP) issues (with resulting risk to injury) that give me additional worry and I am by nature a hiigh-anxiety worry-wart. Another thing I was concerned about- that even though this would be reporting him for a violation, if I didn't call and they found out, then in the future if there was a choice whether or not to send difficult child home on probation, they might not do it because they would think that they couldn't count on me to enforce their rules. Hopefully, he will come home on his own soon and you can disregard everything I just said!! PS- we have court in the morning too- and we don't know why. It is our 5th one in 4 1/2 weeks and only the first 2 were scheduled. [/QUOTE]
