[QUOTE="Triedntrue, post: 741336, member: 21499"] I am just catching up with this conversation and may have missed some. I know that it is very difficult and depressing dealing with our children either when we have contact or when we don't. We worry when we don't hear from them because we know that with their lifestyles and personalities so much could go wrong. We are stressed out when we do hear from them because of the way they speak to us and treat us. They are still our kids we still love them but don't know how to deal with them. Copa I understand and sympathize with your depression. I have been there and done that and still do that. I would be freaking out if I hadn't heard from my son in that long but you need to worry about you right now and the other people in your life. I don't remember if you still go to counseling but it might be a good idea for a little while. Is there anyway you can check on your son without actually contacting him just to ease your mind. If he has not contacted anyone is it possible he is in jail? Many jails have a website that will list people incarcerated at that facility. There are also sites that will do a search of all facilities. Holidays including birthdays are hard I think because they are so family oriented. My son reminded me that he was in jail for thanksgiving last year and was not invited for Christmas. What he doesn't realize is that the situation was just as hard for me as him. When he got out I decided I was going to detach which initially meant no communication because he would constantly ask for money or rides or whatever. Also If he is invited my other two will not come. It is devastating I just wanted to stay in bed I didn't even decorate. But that did't help me or him. Please know that so many people care and understand and are praying for you. [/QUOTE]
