[QUOTE="overcome mom, post: 738611, member: 23328"] I feel for you, That terrible feeling a panic and fear thinking your child is hurt. Then rushing around trying to save her when she doesn't want to be saved or even know she needs saving. I can't tell you how many times I have done that. My son ran away at least 50 times when he was under the age of 18. I mean going from MO to Fl at 15 , no money, no phone. Now that he is older crisis are a little different but still heart breaking. You have to set boundaries for yourself and for her. I am trying to do this and getting better at it but it is so hard when you know your child is hurting even if they did put themselves in that position. Sometimes I think I want to believe the lies ,that he really does care, have some insight. I have been trying to look at just the behavior to keep my feelings out of it. I love the idea of certain times to call. It seems like a good part of my day is living in anxiety that he is going to call with a crisis. I can hear all the excuses from him as to why he would have to call at a different time. Just have to be strong enough to not answer. Hang in there [/QUOTE]
