My youngest son who had just turned 18 on Dec.8th left home to met up w/a girl he met on MySpace on Dec 14th w/just the clothes on his back and not a dime to his name hitchiking. He did stay in touch w/me for awhile but after finding out this gal wasn't all she was cracked up to me he called and said he was coming home and would call when he had reached 81S. I didn't hear from him except from his friend here for 2 wks. This girl had his MySpace acount passwords and messed w/his page plus put pics on it no Mom would want to see. He had hooked up w/some other young ppl in a town not too far away from this other girl and I got the number from his friend who got it from his caller ID box. I was able to at least find out if he was ok and had to take a stranger's word. I was told he would't call me cause he didn't want a lecture, or to hear me cry. People believe me I have been at my wits end. Not sleeping forcing myself to eat almost completely shut down.
Finally tonight I got a message on MySpace from the girl he is staying with although at the time I didn't know who it was. She told me that my son ws fine and I could ask her anything. Of course with what I had been though w/this other group of girls I was hesitant to believe anything but relayed in my reply how much that I needed to hear from his own mouth that he was ok and to tell him I promised not to lecture and would do my best not to cry. Within 5 minutes my phone was ringing and it was my baby boy!!! Tonight will be the first night I will have a peaceful nights sleep.
I know he is 18 and he must move on with his life but he went about it in the wrong way. I was so worried because in the past he has a history of not making the right choices. But I am so happy now!! I know that he is safe, that he is warm and that he's not hungry. I have burned a blue and white candle every night for his safety and have argued and screamed and begged to whatever Higher Power there is to watch over this kid.
I'm really new here and don't really know as yet how to get around but I just had to share my joy tonight. Now that this burden has been lifted perhaps I can get my mind wrapped around getting to know my way around and get to know some of you folks better.
To all that read this Happy New Year!!! I know mine is so much happier now .
