[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 478108"] As I mentioned - I can't figure it out. NOTHING adds up and none of it makes sense. Which is why it bugs me so much. I mean I totally understand them not wanting to get involved for instance. But to completely IGNORE my emails-not even a polite kiss off? Bizarre! And they KNOW us - plus I wrote the details in the email - so even if difficult child is concocting some wild story about being abused or kicked out or us wanting him to quit school to go to work in the mines to support the family - they have enough sensible information to give us the benefit of the doubt or at least to be polite and say "gee". They were our FRIENDS. I don't have any reason to suspect that they are drug dealers. I will say that the 52 year old dad is a college drop who has a silver spoon in his mouth. He doesn't work much-plays a lot of golf, hunts a lot (expensive hobbies) and I've heard that he is a definitely a partyer -he likes to drink - and while some acquaintances have suggested he is an alcoholic - I have no idea if that's true or not. (We live in a gossipy town.) He drinks for sure - more than H or I do - but that doesn't mean anything necessarily. The mom is the same age, has a fabulous career-she finished college & got an MBA about 10 years ago - and she is totally besotted with her H. She is definitely the breadwinner but I think the H has family money. The mom travels a lot (out of the country) and is very indulgent with her dds. Even at 16, E never had a curfew. They had "checked out" of being parents in a lot of ways-they would go on vacation and leave E home alone overnight for a week as a High Schooler. She had a car accident at 17 and was taken to the ER with a minor head injury. When she was released, they DROPPED HER OFF at home and left her HOME ALONE so they could attend a New Year's Eve party! Plus the fact that our kids NEVER spent any time at their house until this past summer. Now all of a sudden they are this tight knit family circle which includes my son. Based on his age and his lifestyle, I wouldn't be surprised if the dad is a recreational substance user. But a dealer would catch me by surprise. Yet, their actions since June have caught me totally by surprise. So I wouldn't put it past him. The whole situation is bizarre and I can't make any sense of it. [/QUOTE]
