He's Home
Brent was found on Friday hanging out side of Lord Beaverbrook School with friends he met when he went there in grade 10. What these students could possible hold for him in friendship is beyond me. These are the "Friends" who were with him when he was caught shoplifting yet ran off and let him take the fall for it all. Is that a friend? Anyway, he had a backpack with him with clothes in it. So it seems he had ever intention of never coming back. What did he plan to do? I have no idea? Live the rest of his life being hid out by his friends or on the streets I suppose? I guess it didn't occure to him that the people WHO GAVE HIM LIFE (his father and I) were worth respect or kindness. I don't think any occures to him at all these days but his own selfish needs and wants.He came home and when I saw him my heart lept. I was so happy just to see him and that he wasn't dead. I had been fighting tears all week with the deepset fear he was dead. I felt so amazingly helpless. I don't think I have ever felt so low in my life - not even when my father died. Something Brent might want to remember. He has a chance to know his father and talk to him - mine is gone and that won't ever change.So I dont' really know much. I know he had "Friends" who kept him at their house. He said that the parents knew he was there. I wonder if they knew he was a run away and if they knew a missing persons was out on him. Larry had filed a missing persons on Thursday. I wonder what they would tell the cops if they came knocking at their door. I know who it was "Jofrey and Kass" and have every intention of making sure their parents know the truth and whole situation. As I said before these are not "Friends" who help Brent to be homeless and hide him. That isn't helping him in the least.Brent has decided he wants to quit school and take mechanics. When there is just 2 weeks of school left. Bascially our money down the toilet. He has agreed to finish the last few weeks and we are looking to family counselling. Hopefully over the summer with some professional help he can get back on track and see his "friends" are hardly that at all. Like I said, Friends help you move forward not pull you backward. I guess they are in misery and just want the company.Our talking to him and trying to make him realize what he's put us through has no effect at all. It's as if he just doesn't care. I know he is a good hearted person to others why is he so horrible to us? I don't understand what we have done as parents to warrant that. We give him everything including our love (AND friendship since we actually DO want him to go forward) and we get treated like garbage. Its enough to make a person crazy and it about has.I want to thank all my family and friends who were there for me through this latest episode. I am truly blessed to have you all in my life. I don't think I would have made it through this week without you and your kind words and support. There are not words enough to express my gratitude, and love.This is our situation now at our house. I will update as things go on. ~K
