So, teen drama tonight...son's friends come over, they'd been drinking and ask if S is here. I say no, he is at your place? (down the street). Apparently he left an hour before and it's a five minute walk. I'm a bit panicky, but I text-no answer. Call-it goes straight to message.
I get a text back, "Sorry went for a walk, friend in distress called and I was talking her through some things..."
Mind you, it's pouring rain etc.
So I drive drunk azz (but very polite ) friends back, make sure son is back at friend's, talk to son, he is beside himself that he worried me. It's all good.
Text H with small update- "Drunk teens, S17 took off couldn't find him, he went to visit Grandmother's (H's mom) grave, but is all good, will update you tomorrow"
Then I texted- "Sometimes? Doing this on my own in the here and now is really hard" "
He texted "I'm sorry"
I just said "So am I. I'll talk to you tomorrow"
Ugh. Not my intent to lay a guilt trip on the man, but if I have to do this parenting thing and feel the sheer momentary terror of not knowing where S is, then he gets to know as well. Pointe finale.
