[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 739294, member: 17720"] Copa, you are a good friend. Thank you for asking. Son has not contacted us in any way, shape or form. We know his status only via word from his friends in sober living, who are trying (in vain, so far) to convince him to return. I am sorry for my cynicism, but no distress is not strange. There is no distress because son hasn't run out of money yet. When he does, he will express all of the above. I understand he is on a bender. I understand what selfish @$$&^%$ drunks can be. But to not even THINK to let SOMEONE know he was OK? I mean, we had an officer show up AT OUR DOOR and tell us son's car was found submerged in 10-12 feet of water, with no sign of the driver. Had we not been able to get into his apartment -- had he not left Messenger open -- we would have no idea of his status. And at no point that day or since has son ever so much as thought to contact us. No response to our messages, no acknowledgement, no nothing. So Hubs and I are sad and disappointed, of course, because we thought he was "getting it." We are relieved, of course, because he is OK. We are numb from the scare we had. But mostly we are just really angry because the way it looks right now is that he's been biting his tongue for a year until his charges were dropped, playing whatever role was expected of him to get through the program, so he could go back to being what he really wants to be. And all the people who rallied to support him don't even register on his radar. [/QUOTE]
