  • ah Lou,
    I dont know what to suggest...Any other Mom's you could call?
    I would be tempted to go for a drive as I'm the same...imagination goes into hyper mode and you think all sorts of things!

  • I would go around there Louise, i have had the same in the past and we all got worried.

    Louise, as a mother with a wayward son.....I can totally empathise with your situation. They kind of get carried away with the moment... if going to look for him makes you feel better than you must. I can't stay in wondering it drives me crazy!!


    Thats the thing though, he is really good with telling me if there are any changes to plans as he knows I worry. I will give him another half an hour then if I hear nothing Im going out to search:o

    I have had a look at the cinema listings and I think he would probably be going to see the dark knight film which only started at 5.30pm that was the earliest show.
    I cant see anything else they would have gone to see:confused: So they should be coming out in the next half an hour I guess.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
  • Louise go look, if you have your mobile with you then he can still contact you and you will feel better for going and doing something.

  • Lou,
    Why not get dressed in a really embarassing 'Mom' outfit and go stand outside cinemas and wait for him-when he comes out, wave and cry hysterically, shout 'My son! My darling ickle man! Mommzie was sooooo worried about you!'


    He wont do it again...

    And he has not got a jacket with him and it is bloody freezing and pi$$ing it down:(

    There is no answer from his friends house phone:mad:

    I really shouldnt have watched the program about American Serial Killers last night, one of them kidnapped teenage boys and did horrible things before killing them.............mind working overtime........all rational thought gone out of the window as mother doesnt know where her child is!!!!!!


    Go for a drive Lou if it makes you feel better... he'll get you on the mobile if you are out and about,and you can let on to him you were at the local asda/tesco or whatever....

    he'll probably call you the second you jump in the car...........

    bless you for worrying.......
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
