[QUOTE="Bean, post: 375173, member: 8620"] I'm sorry. This must be really hard for you. I haven't experienced this on a large scale--yet. But I feel like there are pockets of time in my life when contact has been completely on [I]her[/I] terms. It isn't easy, either. But when my daughter would go on the run, contact would be on her terms, not mine. That was hard. We didn't get to meet, talk or whatever when it was convenient for me, so it was always a somewhat stressful event. If I hadn't heard from her, I'd want to stop everything I was doing when she did call, because I wasn't sure when she would call again. It is not the preferred way of having a relationship. Just make sure you set up your parameters, too. She was supposed to meet you for lunch. Her just taking off and not respecting that was pretty rude of her. The worry of "how she is" might be trumping that, though for you right now. [/QUOTE]
