My difficult child has been out of the house since late January. Part of the time in rehab/sober home and the rest of the time homeless. While he's homeless I pretty much check the jail website and read the local news daily.
A few weeks ago a coworker was late and when she came in she said "Sorry I'm late, a homeless guy jumped off a bridge and they had everything blocked off, it was a mess." I almost passed out. I hadn't told anyone at work he was on the street again. I was convinced it had to be him because the night before I asked him(in a nice way) to stop posting crap on Facebook that's clearly about drugs for all the family to see. He got mad. So the rest of the day I kept checking the local news for updates on the identity. He finally text me.
Now that he doesn't have a phone I have no way to "check" on him. So now I'm checking jail and news more and more. I hate it! I need to stop! Anyone else do this? I'm on a roller coaster, one minute I'm fine thinking what happens happens, the next I'm letting the worry and fear creep in and ruin my day.
