Ok, WTH, she is home now and went for a drive til 5 am. She can't drive more then half an hour and doesn't drive at night so I dO NOt GET IT. I am relieved but still concerned at thr same time, and her poor boys. grrrrrr

Oh boy.

That was my first thought shortbun. Perhaps she went to see someone. Who knows.

Okay, now that you know she's safe it's time to read her the riot act!!! Doesn't she know she had us all worried?!

Seriously, you need to let her know the result of her actions - there are people that love her that were concerned and the police were involved.

I'm glad it all turned out okay.

Glad she's ok. She made a silly move though, especially in a contentious divorce. This has opened the way for her husband to claim she is an unfit mother. Why would she take off and not let her children's caretaker know where she was? Many of us have gone through terrible times/divorces, etc. but I don't think we've taken off and failed to tell anyone.

If she wants to repair the damage she's caused herself, I would think she needs to see a therapist ASAP. This way if she had a mini breakdown, it will be documented. It will also show that she went for help.

Monique, I'm so happy that this turned out OK.

People who are depressed or going through an extremely stressful period do not always make rational decisions. But a mother always has to take the needs of her children (even if they are not real young) into consideration.
Let her know how much it worried you too. A simple phone call would have made everything OK. I'm sure she has required a phone call from her boys when they were delayed or had a change of plans.

I'm so glad she's OK. I hope she knows how lucky she is to have such a great friend.

Thank goodness she's okay!

i updated the first post. Yes a simple phone call could have averted alot.

I am totally terrified her ex will use this to go back to court and get full custody. That would destroy her. He is 15 and was with his brother so he was never in any danger but the dad might see this as a way to pay less support. The dad is a liar, cheater, abuser, verbablly abusicve, punches holes in walls and is deliberaltly manipulative and cruel. The line to testify against him would be long I am sure.

Anyways I just thought it was ironic I posted this on the Dis and thats where she was.

I'm so sorry--but you can't say the kids weren't in real danger when mom took of without telling anybody and the concern was so great that a missing person's report was filed.

Dad won't get out of less support, though. This type of stuff is used to change custody or take it away.

I agree with another poster that she needs therapeutic intervention ASAP.

There is no "valid" "sane" reason for an adult woman to just take off like that. None at all. She owes it to her children.

Thanks for the update. I am so glad this was a happy ending.

Sounds like she needs a bit of counselling. She certainly has good reasons to be a distressed, but she has to mind her Ps & Qs right now, or it could bode poorly for the future in terms of child custody or whatever.
