[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 670627, member: 30"] I'm sorry for your hurting heart. Here is a list of help for the Waco area. There seems to be quite a few options.[URL]http://www.shelterlistings.org/city/waco-tx.html[/URL] I don't know your son and I don't know your situation and that matters a lot! I have a daughter who in her younger years used to take off and I would be worried sick about her! Guess what? She was not in the least distressed about her situation. Instead, it seemed to be an adventure for her. She was never completely without anything. She couch surfed and ate with the people she stayed with. Again, not knowing your situation, I believe this is probably what your son is doing. My daughter was a minor, but I also know she did it as an adult too. In her case and many others, this way of living is an adventure! Go figure!

There is only so much we can do for our children and I think that is important for parents to realize. We hurt ourselves with worry and concern for something we did not teach our children and certainly never expected them to carry out that life style.
