Hi All,
well, apparently difficult child 1 did tell my son he should call me, he called last night. He sounded good, not just what he said but how his voice sounded. He said he is doing much better both physically and mentally.
I asked him about difficult child and boyfriend being evicted from their apartment and he said that "the guy staying there" (huh, what guy?) put holes in the wall and the landlord came over when he was there. He said it really wasn't difficult child and boyfriend's fault. I let it go, don't want to put him in the middle of my conflict with difficult child. To me, it is difficult child and boyfriend doing the same old thing over and over, no excuses for them.
He said they have been traveling for several weeks now and walked 15 miles on the Pacific Rim Trail. They had just arrived in Bend, Oregon that day and he has a day labor job lined up for today. He said they might stay there awhile and he might look for a job in the restaurant business.
I asked about the fishing job and he said he really enjoyed it but the guy who had the boat had mechanical problems and then the season ended.
He said it has been really good for him to just live day to day. I think he had felt so trapped before he went out to the west coast that he couldn't see any way out and now he is sounding so less stressed to me.
I asked if difficult child is still with him and the boyfriend and he said yes. I think for my son it is fine for him to be just traveling about, seeing the country, working when he needs to, etc. He isn't expecting a baby! I can't imagine what difficult child and boyfriend will do when they have the baby to take around. Oh well, not my problem. The less I know the better.
Son promised to be better about staying in touch. I told him I just need to know he's alive now and then.
