:hug: Gavin. I hope you feel better today! I think anyone who can speak more than 1 language is an absolute genius.
:hug: Dianeva. I hope you're feeling better today too.
Thanks Carrot, but ... I might be a nice mom, but I'm a horrible mom :bang:
UGH... Just received a call my my youngest boy. He took off. He's such an idiot (and yes, I told him as much) because he's walking from West Virginia to Miami, Florida. Or that's his plan at least. He called me, lost but still excited. I told him I hope he realized I had to tell on him. He said "yeah, why do you think I waited so long to call?) :bang: His sister moving to his part of town pushed his plans forward.
He only had 3 minutes on his phone (an extra cellphone which he took from here before he left- but he left the charger).
It died just as I said "I love you."
Before he left though, I laminated a card with important phone numbers. He left with no money and only the clothes he was wearing.
Yet again, my failures as a mom slap me across my face.
I kept trying to convince him to wait. I told him he could save up money, find better maps etc. He asked what the difference in 6 months is and that he was sick of wasting his life.
I called his facility and let them know- I figured they were clueless because he likely left from school. They, indeed, had no idea, so they're calling the cops. Then I called the Probation Officer and let her know, so she'll be doing whatever she can.
