A bit of an update:
My son reached out to my wife and I on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday last week. I have not seen or heard from him since he ran away again February 14 ( he doesn’t turn 18 until April 22). The reason he reached out, his girlfriend committed suicide on Tuesday. He actually came to talk with me on Thursday. We talked for a couple of hours and he stayed for dinner. While he is speaking with more maturity than I have ever heard before, my BS meter was sounding quite often, but I just let him talk. (When he spoke with my wife, his mom, she also didn’t believe much of what he said). Anyway, he asked her to go to the funeral with him on Sunday then he backed out and didn’t go at all. He does not plan on moving back home, which sad to say, we are all relieved(as my daughter put it, “it’s been so peaceful since he has been gone”).
