[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 583486, member: 14356"] Hi Nancy, Thank you. Where we live they can choose to leave home at 16 and we don't have any rights to even know where they are, let alone make them come home or send them to treatment of any kind. I agree with you about this other woman - makes me so angry. She hasn't even bothered to call and find out our situation or ask if there is anything she can do to help with getting difficult child home and in a better state. I guess she figures she is saving him from us - I can only imagine what he's told her about us. And she probably believes it. I'm in agreement about contact with him as well. I just can't do it. It's too hard for me and I really don't think it is good. I mean - I absolutely want difficult child to WANT to call me and WANT to talk to me but he doesn't. I understand the thinking that if I put the ball in his court that maybe he'll come to understand that he actually wants and needs a relationship with me too. But, he obviously doesn't want it right now because he doesn't keep in touch and quite frankly, it's really hurting me. I'm in such bad shape, physically and emotionally, right now. I've had heart palpitations for 2+ months now, headaches, irritability, lack of focus. I've been back to the doctor several times and she doesn't seem the least bit concerned but I finally got a diagnosis of anemia and am going for some heart tests next week. Apparently stress hormones can block your absorption of nutrients and iron is one of those nutrients. Of course the heart palpitations are scary as heck and the not knowing whether it's stress or something more serious is making it worse. I'm trying to get better sleep but the heart palpitations wake me up in the middle of the night at least 5 to 6 times a night. I have improved my diet significantly and am doing yoga a few times a week to help reduce stress. Hopefully I'll see some results soon. [/QUOTE]
