[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 598347, member: 14356"] Thanks everyone. I think you are all right and I will just leave him be like he wants me to. I was just texting / calling once a week for the last couple of months but even that was too much for him. I think if he ever does text or call me I might just fall over from shock. Especially if he doesn't actually want money or something else he can't get on his own. I'll leave his phone on and I have access to his FB via easy child's fb account so I can check on him that way. The other night when he upset me so and had me in tears with his rejection he was posting funny stuff on his FB account and seemingly having a merry old time of his own life. Barbara - I wish I could do something with difficult child. I would have. I'd have picked him up and had him sent to a residential school or facility but I can't. At 16 our kids are legally allowed to move out and be on their own. Don't have to tell us where they are or anything and I have no say or control over that at all. It's kind of odd because they are legally supposed to be in school until they are 18 but it's not enforcable because once they are 16 the school board can not take them to court and force them to go to school. Just like I can't force him to come home or go into treatment or anything. I know for sure he has been drinking. When he lived here he tested negative for drugs three times. Now, I don't know. Things could have changed and I haven't seen him (except for quick glimpses of him in the back kitchen at McDonalds where he works) since March 10. Today easy child and I are taking the day to go to the zoo and see the new panda exhibit and then heading to see Taylor Swift in concert. The tickets were her Christmas gift and she is so excited the date has finally arrived. So, today will be a good day! :) Thanks again for the advice and support. It means a lot to me. [/QUOTE]
