Where to begin? Almost a year to the day of starting this God send of a job,my son quit. He had a work cell phone, they paid for his mileage, paid him him very well, really the sky was the limit with this job. Most importantly they trusted him and really liked him and he was learning so many things everyday. Anyhow, one day he just didn't show up. He didn't call. He didn't return bosses many calls. Ultimately boss called us and let us know he was worried and we tracked son down. He had gone on vacation with a friend and just like that decided he was done. It took us almost 2 weeks to coax him into reaching out to work and turn in cell phone, credit card, etc. I want to scream. I am so very angry and once again embarrassed by son's actions. His boss was an amazing mentor and tried so hard to steer my son and this is how son thanks him. Then of course, I switch over to extreme worry as to what is going on. The past few months I noticed that my son was looking more and more unkempt. He apparently was often late for work, his car was a junk pit, and boss had to talk to him about priorities, etc. Now son refuses to talk to me about any of it. I know all of this only because boss told me. I saw him for the first time in weeks yesterday and he looks so good. He cut his hair and trimmed his beard and looked healthier than before. It is just like when he decided to quit sports and school and cut off all his friends back when he was in high school. I am baffled as to what is going on. I am fairly certain it is not drugs. Now he faces losing his apartment as landlord does not want an unemployed tenant. Waiting on son's next step. Oh and he doesn't have a phone so I can not contact him. I am sick over all this and so very sad.
