My 17 year old son has been missing since last night. We've had trouble with him in the past year with drinking and marijuana, and he's been in counseling. But the past few months he's been clean. We know this because we have him randomly tested. His grades improved, his personality improved.
Last night he got drunk with a friend and they vandalized a car. He called us this morning on his cell phone, and said he was lost in some woods, then the battery went dead. I know he's terrified of the trouble he's going to be in.
I'm not excusing his behavior. He will have to pay the consequences when he comes home. But he does have a suspected anxiety disorder and when something goes wrong, he panics.
The police went looking for him, my husband is looking for him, our friends are looking for him. I'm waiting by the phone. After two hours, the police called off their search saying that if he knows they're looking it will chase him away even more. How in the heck is he supposed to know they aren't looking for him??????
It's cold and raining out and he's only wearing a t-shirt and jeans. I only hope he finds shelter.
I'm not even sure why I posted this here. I just know that in the past you've all given your prayers and best wishes to others.
I have never been so lost or so scared in my life.
Ok. I just got a call. They found him and he's in the ER. Apparently he fell down a hill and hurt his leg. A couple of hunters found him. They said he's a little hypothermic, but nothing serious. My husband is on his way over there while I stay with the other two.
At this point, as soon as he gets home, I'll give him something warm to eat, then throttle the life out of him. Then, I hope off to rehab asap.
I thank all of you so much for your support. It helps so very much.

Give him a hug when he gets home. Act cool for 24 hrs--------- this will make him worry more. Then have the chat, lay the tire tread and find a counseling program.
