Friday was scary. Here I picked up s14 on Wednesday and he either slept or was brooding for 2 days. So I gave him a little space.
On Friday, he opened a bit. S14 will be going to a high school near my place in the fall. This was agreed to by W and I, the county attorney, and in a week or so it will be signed off on by the judge.
But W told s14 this was all my doing. And this all can be changed if I just agree to it. And that he could go back to his old jr. high school (with his bad bunch of friends which got him arrested), if I just agreed - which is a lie.
Then she told him in a year everything would be changed and he could go back to the school with his old friends. Again, a lie.
I was frustrated by W's sabotaging the agreement and hurting my relationship with s14.
On Friday, s14 was also upset. He told me he was walking back to W's place - 7 miles away across a busy highway. I told him I would drive him, and we stopped off first at Taco Bell to get some food.
I yelled at the Taco Bell person. S14 told me to "chill". As we pulled out of the drive thru, I raised my voice at how this was crappy that I only was able to see s14 for a few days and he wouldn't even talk to me. S14 yelled back this was all my fault and jumped out of my truck.
I parked in a parking lot close by, and collected myself. Then I looked for s14 and he was gone. I went up and down the street and s14 was no where to be seen.
I called the police to keep an eye out for him. I texted W and the kids to let me know if they hear from him (s14 did not have his phone).
W called me to find out what happened, and I unloaded on her by raising my voice and telling her the only chance s14 has is if we stick together on the agreement and help s14 work thru this. She said she doesn't agree with our mediated settlement anymore and wants s14 back with her and back at his old school. Yeah, I was even more frustrated. This was not my brightest moment.
I am the worst at final words to a conversation. This time I told W "to go attend a parenting class!" and then hung up. This was almost as bad when a year ago I read W's texts about her sleeping with other men, and I told her "I'm no longer your friend!"
8 hours later s14 was able to reach d21 and was brought back to W's place. He was safe and sound. W estimated s14 walked 25 miles, which would be impressive in any sitch.
I haven't heard from s14 since he jumped out of my truck.
