mmg19 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Tragic week-end. My 12 year old got a phone call Sat. evening from friend. His Mom was killed in car accident and police were at his house. He had no where to go, no grandparents, father working away and wanted to come here. Police contacted father and he agreed for him to come to our house until he could get there. Father got here today and it just gets worse. Phone showed sexting messages to boyfriend minutes before accident. My thoughts are running rampant and I've got children asking questions I am unable to answer or maybe don't want to answer. Not really a friend of the Mom but I have met her through the boys. There is a reason texting is illegal while driving. Hugging my children closer tonight and praying for this young boy and father. My only consolation tonight is my son's friend said he wanted to stay here because this is a safe house. I've had to dig deep to hold it together today.

Wheelerswife Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hugs to you! As hard as this is, you are being present to a boy who really needs someone. I hope you can find the strength to get though the upcoming days and you can find the words to explain the unexplainable. Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManutesGirl Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 What a tough situation. I hope you find some comfort in the fact that you have created an environment that this boy felt safe in. It speaks volumes to who you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TooSoon Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Oh no what terrible, scary news. Your home is the port in the storm for this young person - that is huge. Hugs and more hugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmg19 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Thank you for kind words. I truly hope my home is the safety net this child needs right now. He is staying with us until the father's parents come to get him this week-end. This is hard but at the same time I'm feeling an unexpected source of strength and understanding of this journey of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
