[QUOTE="Tired out, post: 744481, member: 23103"] I am glad you found out where she is. I hope you can get a reasonably good nights sleep. Angry? of course you are but it won't do you any good to be angry at her. If you said to her, "you know how worried I was? I didn't know what happened to you , whether you were dead or alive." She would say, "I didn't ask you to worry about me. Worry about yourself and leave me alone." She is 21. that's pretty much how they think. When I tell my 21 year old son that I worry about him he says ,"then stop." I know it is hard. I can't stop. Even if he is a jerk and does ridiculous things. he is still MY jerk. and I still love him and want him to be okay. I know some people can compartmentalize and even say good riddance to family and erase them from their thoughts. I don't know if I envy them or feel sorry for them. I wasn't raised that way. I knew my parents and grandparents loved me and my siblings to the ends of the earth and back and they loved their siblings and parents that way and each other. Sure they had disagreements and things were hard at times but it always, always came back to family first. My husband's family isn't close like that and doesn't have that type of bond. It just isn't in his dna. He puts our 21 year old out of his mind (he says. but then he asks what we are getting him for Christmas) Prayers she gets help and can be ok. Wishing you a peaceful night and some rest. [/QUOTE]
