My son just ran away from home

[dizzi]

I dont know if this is a place to post this or not,
But this is my home.

These boards are where i spend my time.

And now i need to vent.

My son has had a lot of mental issues through the years.
but to night he has decided my rules suck and he packed his things and left right in front of me.

He is 15.

I know, i guess think i know he will be back.

We all ran away from home at some point right.............
and we came back.

I am scared for him.
and i am sick to my stomach and think i am goign to puke.

Any and all words of wisdom appreciated.

[dizzi]

I have meet thread as we have a cruise planned but i did not want to put this there......
That is fun times....
Not ready to bother them with this stuff.

[agnes!]

I'm so sorry - hope he comes home soon and everything gets straightened out.

agnes!

[kimis]

I will keep you in my prayers.

[dizzi]

Thankyou so much.
I cant sleep now and everytime i hear a siren i hope he hasnt done soemthing foolish

[quasar4legs]

:hug: What a terrible worry for you and I hope he stays safe.
I think the teenage years can be so difficult for some young people, it is tough to find you place in the world.
Have you tried contacting his friends???

Big koala cuddles to you all.

First off I want you to know that prayers go out for you, and trust me when I say I know the hell that teenage kids can put you though, whenever my dd was 16 she decided to " Leave"...aka run away....she was gone for 2 days and we worried like heck but she scrambled back to the house and learnt with a quickness that housing is not so easy to find.

Godspeed and hang in there. :hug:

[frdeb1999]

You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Please let us know how things are going. :hug:

[logan&tylersmama]

i hope he returns safely soon

I hope you have reported him missing with the police. If something happens to him and you didn't report him missing you could be considered neglectful.

I would put my foot up his &*# when he got home.

Good Luck and I hope he is ok.

[mommasita]

:grouphug: I am so sorry you are going through this worry right now. My son is almost a teenager, and the reality is there.

I hope he returns soon, and you can work things out.

This is board is the perfect place. Please update when you can.

I have said a prayer for your family :grouphug:

[disneyloveNY]

Prayers are being said. Have you called all his friends? I would even consider calling the police-they might be able to help. Actually, I hope he came back home .:hug:

[safetymom]

I will keep you all in my prayers.

[wuv tigger]

Hugs to you!:grouphug:

I first want to say, hugs and prayers. Second, my DS tried this when he was 15. Since he was 15 I just went to the police station and filed a report. I told them where he hung out and the names and addresses of his friends. Since he was 15 they had to bring him home weather he wanted to come or not. He didn't put up a fight, he was shocked when the cops came to get him! I think it really set up how I felt about it without the emotional yelling or anything else, they returned him, told him he had to listen to me and that he should be grateful for such a nice home, etc. (I have had no issues since and he is 17 now). If he were 16 they really couldn't make him come home but until he is 16 you should get their help.

we're all for you!

sorry about what happened!

[dizzi]

I did not calo the police, i was unsure what to do.
I di go to his friends home and he had contacted the boy but the boy was afraid to try and sneak him in so my son left.

I have no idea where he spent the night.

But i did call the school and he is there.

So at least he went to school.

I just keep wondering if he is hungry.

I had no money on him.

The schooll said they could quarintine him, but i hate to casue a roucus as i dont know how it would effect hom or his ROTC.

I know it sounds aas if i am being lame, but he has had ALOT of issues in the past and i know he could react very very badly to soemthing out fo the ordinary.

He hasnt had any issues in 2 years. But he started about 6 months ago refusing to take his medication and i am sure this has soemthign to do with it.

I am leaving here soon to se if his bike is at school, if it is i will be waiting at his bike when school is let out.

[mommasita]

He must have slept at a friends...Thankfully he is school.

Did you go?

[quasar4legs]

So pleased that he has made it to school and at least you know he is physically Ok. Does the school have a counsellor that may be able to help?

Big hugs, I hope you can get him back home where he belongs.

He is back home that was one of the worst 15 hours of my life.

When he saw me at the bike area....

He asked what i was doing there, and i said i was just wondering what your plans where.

He said......I was going to come home and see if i could come back in.

I said........Yes you can come back home, but where are your bags?

He said....in the back of dads truck

I said......Is that where you slept? too....

And yes it was, so he was basically out the end of our drive way all night casue his friend would not let him climb in the window.

SHould i laugh at him or punish him.

Oh boy. I think I would just hug and squeeze him for a LONG time. I don't think I would punish just yet, but I am not in your situation, so I honestly don't know. I would try to talk and talk and see how it goes.

I wish you lots of luck. I will be thinking of you all :grouphug:

[safetymom]

I would hug him and tell him we need to talk. I wouldn't punish him this time.

[dizzi]

THank you thank you thank you
BOTH
FOr the Hugging idea.

I was so mad, that he put me through this and he was still being a bit disrespectful, that i had not hugged him.

Thank you i put doen the computer after reading that and went and hugged him and it ALMOST brought tears to his eyes.

And for a teen boy that is pretty signifigant.

THANK YOU SO MUCH......
I am the first to admit, i know my kids didnt come with a manual and any help i get i am greatful for!

THank you!

Relieved to hear that he is back home and I totally agree, hugging is what is needed in this situation.
A great place to talk to boys is while you are doing something, like driving in the car or walking the dog. Our son is much more chatty when the conversation seems incidental than when we sit him down for a 'chat'.

Poor kid must have really been doing it tough. I hope you can all get a good night's sleep, it can be tough being a parent.

[frdeb1999]

So glad that he is back home. :hug:

[Judy Judy Judy]

Thank God another one home safe....laugh it out, it's over now!!!!!! :cheer2:

[donaldduck352]

So glad too hear he is home now..I wouldnt punish him it will make the situation worse..Talk and be open minded.Listen to what he has too say and try to come to a compromise..

I ran away when I was 16 but never came back till I was 21.The biggest thing that made me leave was my step father and my mom did not want too hear what I was trying to tell her!!

I pray everything works out for YA..

[dizzi]

What were you trying to tell them?

Or did they just not listento anything.

I feel i am a good listener to my children.

We have been THROUGH IT with My son......and there are days when i feel i just dont know what to do next with him.
