[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 557080, member: 59"] I'm thankful that he got in touch with you also. It seems like your difficult child wants an adventure and in many ways my difficult child would love to do the same thing, backpack around the country and beyond. She would think nothign of going to a foreign country with no money and just experience and adventure. I know it's hard for you and I to understand that. But if he is lucid enough to backpack through an adventure he sounds like he is at least taking care of his basic needs. Who knows TL, he may find what he is looking for through this. Something along the way may excite him enough to want to stop and pursue it. I think getting him the backpack is an ideal gift. You are not enabling him. There is no sense in holding out with the expectation he is going to come crying home, he has already proven that he is resourceful enough. It just makes his treak a bit easier. I'm glad you are a little more at peace having heard from him. After all, all we want is for our difficult child's to be safe. Nancy [/QUOTE]
