Found a link that about a book I think I should see if I can order from the library. search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?r=1&ISBN=9780310247456&ourl=Boundaries%2FHenry%2DCloudYesterday I phoned the guy my son works for and found out that he never showed up for work. I turned my phone down this morning when I went to bed and when I woke up, there was a call from his boss, which means he didn't show up for work again today. He has not phoned in sick and hasn't reported for work for the last two days. This is something he has never done before and is a good indication that his disease has indeed progressed. When I phone his place no one answers and it sounds like there is no answering machine to leave a message. I have always allowed his work place to phone here and leave message for him. My phone has been his answering service. I think I felt that if he was working there was still hope. Yesterday I took some steps to make changes in my life. I have to give myself permission to make healthy choices for me. |

( ( ( ( Caressa ) ) ) ) Your son and you are both in my prayers..... Just reading your post, makes my heart hurt as I can so relate to what you must be feeling. I think it was a very wise move for you to turn the phone off and get some rest. Although if you're typing this, you are not resting....  "Honey" likes to drive by the bar, where my son works, to see if his car is still there. I refuse to do this and strongly encourage him to do the same. Checking up on him and trying to keep tabs in not good for my mental health. I pray there is a good reason for your son not being at work. I pray that you will ride this storm out and continue taking care of you. I also pray that you will get some word about him very soon. It's the waiting and watching for them that's the most difficult. Take care of you! Hugs, Cherie |

Heard from my son tonight. He made the decision to take the week off and contacted his employer. He said he was okay. I don't think we are on the same page about that, but it is okay.

Glad to hear you've had a phone call from your Son....
Prayer works, but it always amazes me how simple it is!
I am at my best when I am Minding My Own Business!
Setting boundaries, that are healthy for us, is the best
measure we can take. I know I can't control my Son's
behavior, but I can control my own.
Peace on the journey, SunnyGirl

Got asked last night if I prayed. I was surprised to be asked. Guess I need to be more honest, sincere, hopeful, and surrender a little more thoroughly.
