loads coming your way and loads of xxxxxxxxxxx

Yvette, I'm so sorry this has happened. You don't deserve any of this and I hope he realises and comes home soon ready to make amends. Love Daisy

Yvette, So sorry to read this. He probably frightened himself as well as you. I hope things work out for all of you. Gwynne

can't add anything that hasn't been added so just sending my love xxxxxxxxxxxxx

You have my sympathy as I went to hell and back with my 2 eldest daughters. My son will be 16 in a few weeks time and I am hoping he does not go the same way as them. So far at least he has still been attending school which is more than what they did. Although one of my daughters has made up for lost time and is doing really well at university. I would have thought your son would be extra proud of his mum for doing your bit for charity... Hope he rings soon and gets things sorted GLoria

<<<HUGS>>>

Perhaps this thread should be shown to anyone who wants to become a parent! They certainly don't tell you about it at parentcraft classes, do they! Love to all mums and dads. Its a tough job but someone's got to do it.

Hi Yvette, Hope that things will improve before too long :-)) Meanwhile sending you lots of ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) Jill xx

Yvette, don't dispare things will work out I'm sure. Sometimes they need to be away for a little bit and make it on their own, they appreciate you more when they do have to figure it out themselves. I to have been at wits end lately with daughter but for a lot of different reasons and beginning to think I have an ulcer. Won't get into details right now but wish you luck hon.

Hi Yvette, Sorry you are having a bad time at the mo. with David. I had several years of screaming rows, door slamming, and all the stuff that goes with teenage boys when my lad was at home and had no one he would talk with or listen to. Eventually he decided it would be better if he left, and he told me he had found a room in a shared house, to rent. I cleaned it out for him and gave him some stuff, but inside I was heartbroken. I used to worry about him not getting home safely and no-one realising and all those things, but hey, he was ok. and got himself a Housing Association flat fairly quickly, and we get on pretty well now. we are very close and he talks to me about lots of things. I am sure David will calm down soon and get in touch and you will end up being good friends again. Take care, Hope he gets in touch soon, Liz

Have just read through all these messages and wish I had been a member on here when we were going through hell with our 2 eldest daughters. You think you are so alone in all your troubles but there are loads of parents out there with worst troubles than your own. At the time we thought ours were the worst ever but since then we hear stories of others problems and I often think ours were not so bad after all....... My son is over 6ft and does weight training so is quite a size, dont think he would ever raise his hand to me but one of his fave things is the wrestling and he quite often puffs himself up into a wrestling pose and stands in front of me preventing me from getting past. Its all done as a joke but heaven knows what I would do if it were for real....

Well after a really bad night i am feeling even more fragile, but i am going into work to try and take my mind off things. Still no word from David. Lynda, lol like the comment, they are not so fantastic a pair this morning, thank goodness i wear glasses, they will hide a lot today :-) Thanks again for all the lovely comments, it sure does help to know that other Mum's have been through such fights with their children and that things have worked out well in the end. To those of you who have pm'd me thanks, and for all the parents that are struggling at the moment a (hug) for you too. Have a nice day everyone. Yvette

Yvette Do you know where he should be today ? does he work? Could you phone him? Just to reassure yourself or would that make things worse? Jess

i can sympathise with you, my son did the same thing 18months ago. he left home without telling me, and because he worked nights and spent a lot of time at this girlfriends, it was three days before i knew he had gone! i went into his room to put some ironing into his drawers and found none of his clothes there. i was so upset, the argument was not even with me. we are now on very good terms (once he had calmed down), he still does not speak to his sister, although he says he loves her and would protect her if anything happened to her (it was their argument) but it still hurts how he left. i am sure that once he has had some time to think that he will be in contact/come home. thoughts and prayers are with you. tina x

JESS Have you moved yet or is that still a sore subject???????

Yvette, Sorry to hear of your troubles with your son but these days it seems to be par for the course. If it is any consolation, one day he will regret doing this and realise how immature he has been. Please take care of yourself. Love and Hugs, June xx

Hi Yvette, So sorry to hear of your troubes. Like others have said, he is probably upset and angry with himself for acting as he did. My son at 17 and 6ft 3in raised his hand to me. He was so shocked he walked out and didn't come home for a few days as he was too ashamed to face me and his dad. He stayed with friends but it was in the days of no mobiles and not everyone had house phones either so it was a case of just sititng and waiting. It isn't easy to do I know. I hope you hear something today and it gets sorted quickly. Take care, Jacky xx

Morning Yvette, so sorry to hear you are going through this, thinking of you lots, take good care, Chris :) (see you next month!)

(((((((HUGS)))))))

Sorry not been around much this weekend. Hope your day at work is OK & you hear from David soon. Think I will frame this thread for when my 2 get to that age!! Take care Penny
