To report my son as missing?

Really pleased he's home safe, it's great that he's come home spoke to you and asked for counselling that's really nice that you both have that relationship I wish him luck through his hard times and that a silver lining will appear through take care xx

How is that not pwrfectly obvious? You said you hoped the son was home soon and @CustardySergeant told you that he already was 🙄

I presume because you said you hope he's home soon

But he is home already

And you felt the need to tell me this because ?

She still sounds like a lovely mum

He was home yesterday!

Gosh I haven’t read all the comments but I would hope that everyone has been kind. you must be worried sick, I hope he’s home soon . 😢

Liverpool with plenty of news! Yeah let myself down there not reading all of the Op's posts. It still stands however with a son now revealed to be mentally fragile, his mother wasn't overly concerned about zero contact from him in 3/4 days. Even finding out he wasn't at work was 'Oh so and so said he's at so and so's house"so without checking, she just assumed he was there and well. At least he's okay. I guess everyone parents differently and you know your own child.

Most of us - mercifully - were raised by loving caring Mothers. Not violent thugs.

Where do you live that there is so little actual news that this would ever be reported?

Hint for the future , at least read the OPs posts

I was relieved to read that your son is back home and safe, although not in a good mental state. I can't imagine how worried you must have felt, I hope you can now start breathing again.
I understand that your son is suffering and that events of the past may have left some deep wounds. I also read that you are respectful of your children's space. I know how difficult it can be to draw the boundary between being supportive and not too intrusive. Perhaps what we may risk when we fear intruding is that we inadvertently create a distance between us and our loved ones. Sometimes talking and being with painful feelings and memories is so heartbreaking that we naturally wish to deflect and move away from it all. As I read your posts I thought about the pain and trauma you must have all shared and how best you can heal together. He has asked for therapeutic support and that implicitly means his family's support too. I wish you all the very best.

You don't know the son's side

I'm so pleased for you OP. I find it very sad how some posters here are being bitchy. You sound like a lovely mum.

So glad and relieved for you that he is home. I have only just read your update but thought about you and your son all day yesterday. Hope you can both work through whatever is troubling him. Wishing you both all the very best. ❤

She's already said

How are you Stucky have you had any news?

I would be panicking long before now. Report him. Hope all turns out well.

Glad you have your son home xx

Sending lots of positive thoughts . Have been thinking about you and your son and hoping all is well. ❤️

Thank goodness he is home OP. I read this thread with trepidation but didn't dare post.
I hope you and your son get the help and support you need. Nothing is more important.

Thank goodness he is home.

You know what, I don't care if he is 22, to me that would be my son and not knowing if he is actually alright, I would've dig every stone to find him and definitely call the police. The fact how still you are, surprises me.

But it is not the fact that you are not respecting his privacy. You still don't know for guranted he's fine, he still didn't call and you didn't checked at his friend's place if he really is there. So you actually still don't know he is ok.

Been in your headspace many times, it's traumatic. My panic happened several times when my son was travelling for a year. You did good to be restrained whileweighingip what was best to do and I'm glad your son is safe. Please ignore the negative entities that lurk in here. Hope you get your equilibrium back soon 🤗
