DS15 not come home and it's 3.17am

[worriedmum80]

Not sure why I'm posting here just need some positive hope and words.

DS15 went out with mates at 5pm told me he'd be back at 10pm.
I texted him at 9.40 asking him not to be late as I was going to bed with DD8mnths. He replied I'll be 40 mins my phone battery is on 2%.
That's the last I've heard from him!!

I'm been trying his phone and it's obviously off now, I e ring the police and reported him missing now I'm just sat here shaking, worried thinking the worst. What more can I do, I feel hopeless! Can't go driving looking around for him, the baby's in bed asleep.

He's not the best behaved teenager, admitted he goes to party with his mates, they sometimes have a few drinks just the usual "teenage" stuff.
Now I'm worried he's got drunk passed out somewhere or been in a fight and in a bad way somewhere. Why would he say he'd be 40 mins. The latest he's ever been is maybe 11-11.30

Once he is home, send him to his Dads

OP I home he is home already and you can grab some rest

Oh OP how stressful! Does he have a girlfriend? I would not be surprised if he's fallen asleep at a mate's house. He'll wake up in the morning and be so shocked when he charges his phone.

Hope he's ok OP!

I hope you’ve heard from him now and that you are getting some sleep.

I hope he is home soon. Hopefully he is asleep on someones sofa at the party.

I agree, he will be shocked at all the worry he has caused. I hope he doesnt do it again.

I don't think teenagers understand what they do to their parents at times. Hopefully you've heard from your son and managed to get a bit of sleep. Thinking of you OP.

OP have you heard anything? I will keep fingers crossed that you hear back as soon as possible.

Hope he's back and has had the book thrown at him.
Don't fall for the phone running out of charge excuse. It's 2019 not 1998. (kids at school try that one on all the time when they need to download work etc and all teenagers since time immemorial (or 1997 approx) have tried using it)
I wouldn't go for the sending him to his dad's as that gives the message that mum can't cope. I would get his dad involved to present a united front in the face of totally unacceptable and irresponsible behaviour.

Hope he is home soon Op.

Chances are he'll be fine OP. I remember my brother saying he'd be back by midnight and not turning up until 10am the next day. This was before mobile phones and we had no idea where he was. I was really worried but my mum, outwardly at least, was unconcerned.

He probably fell asleep somewhere and/ or missed the last public transport and doesn't have money for a cab.

Hope he is safe and well OP ❤️

Hope all is ok OP, thinking of you

Is he home op?

Hope he is back safe and sound.

Hope he's home now or you know where he is.
Thinking of you.

Poor you. He's been a selfish toe rag and while it might be what a lot of teenagers do he's still capable of telling the truth and being thoughtful.

Short, sharp consequences today definitely.

Thanks all for your kind words of support. I managed to fall asleep for an hour and half on the sofa, don't know how with this worry.

He's still not back, still no word or knowing of where he is.
The baby is up now and my sisters just got here so have her for support.

Just glad it's now morning and hoping I hear something

Yes the 2% bit was probably pre warning you that he wouldn't be contactable. Convenient eh?

Hope he's safe and sound and you are catching up on sleep.

I hope he's back now / you've heard from and are now just cross and no longer worried!

You must be worried sick, but I am sure he will be crashed out at a friend's house and will be in touch soon op.

Your sister sounds like a star. I’m glad you got some sleep and hoping he will be back soon.

I hope he's back safe and sound very soon OP

I used to do this all the time to my poor parents 😢 now I have teenagers and some days I can’t breath for worrying.
Update us when he’s back (and hungover)

from me op.

My eldest is way past that age now but I do remember the odd occasion like yours where he would crash at a mates and not even attempt to let me know. I'd be sat up pretty much all night like you have been.

I also remember doing it to my parents and I remember the thought of letting them know wouldn't even enter my head at times
