My mom wanted me to go with her to an Easter trip, but I didn't since her beating boyfriend was going? I had many doubts and gave the issues more hands than Tevye on Fiddler On The Roof, but I kept strong as a rock on my decision...

They went... and mom was angry at me... she has never been angry at me... she told me how she did everything for me and barely asked me to do anything, she was right, but I couldn't deny of what I think of that man, even when she insisted it was over and that she needed a good driver, I don't trust it...

This was on thursday

Last time I talked with her was friday, she was still angry at me telling me she was exploring the south of our country around the jungle, which is a quite dangerous area thanks to a centralized government where farther from the capital, more abandoned is there.

This was on friday

Now I haven't talked to her in two days, I call her to her cellphone and she doesn't answer... I write this with tears on my eyes after having slept 4 hours... I am worried for her and my little sister with chills on my back...

If you believe in something, whatever it is even if it doesn't have a name, please pray for them and for me.

Prayers that your mother and sister are all right. And prayers for you. :Hug2:

Oh geez...I'll think good thoughts, Max. You hang in there. I know you're terribly worried. I'm sorry you're feeling so awful.

Cassiopeia · Apr 14, 2009

They'll be okay. Perhaps they are just out of signal range. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Wayne K · Apr 14, 2009

Unless there's a cell tower in the jungle that's the most reasonable explaination. It's hard not to worry when it's justifiable fear though. I hope it works out and you keep us updated.

Max, an interruption of service (such as Cassi said) is the most likely reason for her not answering. Or maybe it's turned off because she's having a lovely time she doesn't want to be interrupted. Perhaps she's lost the phone, or dropped it and broken it.

Yes, our minds like to seize the worst case scenario, especially when we feel a little guilty, but luckily that's rarely the way things turn out.

Still, we'll be thinking good thoughts and hopes for her well-being.

Maryn, who'll sit with you for a while

Max, I know you're worried. Hang in there. No news is just no news, right now.

What you did, you did out of respect for your mother and, although she's angry with you just now, some time should give her some perspective.

We'll be thinking your way and hoping for news soon.

Hang in there Max :Hug2:

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and best wishes going your family's way. I think the loss of cellphone signal is probably most likely what is going on and hoping just for that. Could also be the cell battery conked out.

More hugs for :Hug2:

I sent a prayer your way, Max. Please let us know when you hear from her.

maxmordon · Apr 14, 2009

I just talked to her, she's fine, she was at a native settlement, but I could feel some resentment on her voice torward me.

regdog · Apr 14, 2009

Thank goodness she's okay.

To end her resentment towards you, show her your original post. What you were feeling comes right through the monitor.

Jean Marie · Apr 14, 2009

Glad it worked out alright, Max. Hang in there :Hug2:

She is lucky to have someone in her life as loving and caring as you. I don't think you should ever second guess yourself about your intentions or your love, even if she is resentful. I'm so glad she's okay, and I hope you are always strong enough to stand up for what's right, even if it is scary. You are a strong person for doing what you did and you did it for the right reasons. Don't beat yourself up, okay?

Parents resent when it's the child worrying about them no matter how old you are.

we do?

Max, this will pass. Don't worry too much about it right now. When she comes home you can sort it all out just make sure you say I love you before hanging up.

Not all, I see that it makes them feel like a burden sometimes.

Just because you are a rock does not mean your heart has turned to stone. ROCK ON!!

Stay strong, my friend. But remember, she's a person too. She has her own fears and doubts. All you can do is give her your thoughts and objections, with love.

I think it would depend on their age and dependency really. I am so grateful my children are concerned for me and the things that go on in my life. After all, it isn't just about the parents only caring about what happens to their children. Max is acting appropriately to be concerned for his mother. It shows he loves her.

Let me get this straight - your mother's boyfriend was abusive in the past, correct? Is he still abusive? Then I say, you were right in standing firm and not dealing with this man now.

Just keep telling your mother you love her. And sit her down and explain how you feel. If she can't understand that, well, there's nothing more you can do than love her.

max, prayers and hugs go out to you and your family. So hope and pray they're alright. (((((((HUGS)))))))).
