[QUOTE="AKAnnie, post: 743484, member: 22641"] Yes...I think you are right about answering my own question...but thanks to you and everyone else, I was/am able to reflect on how and why...and those two (the hows and whys) are often where I get stuck. I am so grateful to you and everyone else here! I have blocked my oldest's phone number...and I have blocked him from social media...but I imagine that if something really bad happened, they (him and/or authorities) would be able to track us down. I have spoken with police in several towns in the state where he lives in as well as several hospitals and social service agencies. I think my name and contact information may be linked somehow to his name...but then, perhaps the authorities won't contact us... Last year around this time, we found out he was incarcerated not because he called us but because we did a google search for his name and saw news articles about him. At this point, what is most scary is not only the not knowing but the "may never know." It is a complete letting go and letting God, if you will. So hard...but I have you guys to help see me through...and maybe one day, I will be able to pass on the gift you guys so freely give. [/QUOTE]
