[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 706593, member: 19887"] Update..... We didn't end up confronting him on our suspicions, as he currently has no phone with which to contact him, and we called his landline to no answer. I finally got ahold of him via Instagram, and basically said to him that we hadn't heard from him in a while, were worried, hoped he was making good decisions and was getting health. He replied "I am trying"..... Maybe it's for the best I couldn't get ahold of him that night or next day, as I was so angry I would have said some terrible (however true) things to him. I don't know what the answer is in this case. He isn't living in our home, he isn't asking for money, or being disrespectful to us, so maybe we just leave it as it is. I do want to say to him at some point, that I am not stupid, and have an idea of how he is living. It's my grandmothers birthday tomorrow and he adores her, so he may come out of hiding to have the family dinner. Probably not the time to confront him. I am seeing a counsellor, who is very good, and wants to work with me on my issues with "blending" with my oldest son. He knows me, and I can't really hide behind a mask with him. As much as I hate going to the district counsellor, he is very good, and there is no limit to how long I go, as it is free for all teachers. I already feel like I'm more emotionally stable just admitting to him my issues..... I am trying to purposefully focus on my own life, my time with my husband and friends, and my work. I have mothered for the last 22 years, and I am tired out. It's time to focus on what I can do. I dont' know what I would do without these boards, and you all to bounce all my "anger and emotions" off when I feel like I'm going to blow!!! Hugs to all of you.....xoxo [/QUOTE]
